Urgent help: Reasons for the increase in pH value in Tower 1IC and the measures taken.

2018-05-29View Original

Thread Content

The company handles wastewater treatment using an IC treatment process, with six towers and a common water distribution well at the upstream stage. Currently, the pH level in one of the towers has risen to 8.87, resulting in a significant decrease in its treatment capacity. The pH levels of the other towers range between 6.5 and 7.4, with most being around 6.8. Experts, what could be the reason for this increase in pH? What measures need to be taken urgently? On the 26th, the pH was still around 7.5, and the treatment capacity was basically normal. Starting from the 27th, the pH rose significantly while the treatment capacity dropped sharply; currently, there is almost no treatment capacity left.

I’m sorry, I’m here to learn * as well

It is estimated that the timing coincided with the inflow of alkaline wastewater, resulting in large fluctuations in the pH value. Attention should be paid to monitoring the quality of the water entering the system

We suspect that the different installation locations of the pumps in the tank may be causing poor mixing; a new mixing pump has now been installed, and its effectiveness is currently under observation.

I browsed some questions about IC towers and it seems like not many people are participating. . . . . .
