Learning Objectives

This course has been designed for wastewater treatment plant operators responsible for sludge conditioning and mechanical dewatering using polymer flocculants. The material addresses how an operator would assess selecting an appropriate polymer flocculant for a conditioning a stabilized sludge prior to feeding this sludge to a mechanical dewatering device. The materials presented are complemented with considerable hands on practice by the trainees with a jar tester. Selection among polymer types and optimizing a particular polymer type will be integral to the day’s instruction. The cost of polymer usage is also addressed.

Agenda

Review basic polymer types (cationic, anionic, and non-ionic)
Measuring the effectiveness of sludge conditioning through measuring sludge settling rates and CST measurements
Calculating the amounts of polymer needed for and make up polymer stock solutions
Jar testing to identify a preferred polymer type and then optimize the rate of addition
Polymer costs associated with sludge conditioning
