Parameters of secondary decanters,

Parameters of secondary decanters,

Good afternoon, I'm using the standard parameters of the secondary decanters that exist in the WEST, however my affluent has the high particulate fraction (75% - 79% of XCOD), and I find very low TSS values in the treated effluent.

Is there any paper / article that I can find information about sedimentation conditions due to the fractionation of the effluent, or other similar situations?

Thank you,
Luís

I guess it's fair to say this is a typical situation in which you need to [b]calibrate the model[/b] on your experimental data

I am sure there's plenty of literature on the subject.
I am not an expert in this area - maybe other users can provide their input?
Otherwise, I suggest you to run a search on one of the scientific engines available

Thanks for the information
