Abstract: This study investigates the cleaning performance of
high intensity 360 kHz frequency on removal of nano-dimensional
and sub-micron particles from various surfaces, uniformity of the
cleaning tank and run to run variation of cleaning process. The
uniformity of the cleaning tank was measured by two different
methods i.e. 1. ppbTM meter and 2. Liquid Particle Counting (LPC)
technique. The result indicates that the energy was distributed more
uniformly throughout the entire cleaning vessel even at the corners
and edges of the tank when megasonic sweeping technology is
applied. The result also shows that rinsing the parts with 360 kHz
frequency at final rinse gives lower particle counts, hence higher
cleaning efficiency as compared to other frequencies. When
megasonic sweeping technology is applied each piezoelectric
transducers will operate at their optimum resonant frequency and
generates stronger acoustic cavitational force and higher acoustic
streaming velocity. These combined forces are helping to enhance the
particle removal and at the same time improve the overall cleaning
performance. The multiple extractions study was also carried out for
various frequencies to measure the cleaning potential and asymptote
value.
Abstract: This study developed a high efficient and combined
biological and chemical filter treatment process. This process used
PAC (Powder Activated Carbon), Alum and attached growth
treatment process. The system removals of total nitrogen and total
phosphorus ratio of two were as high as 70% and 73%, moreover, the
effluent water was suitable to urban and agricultural water. Also the
advantages of this process are not only occupies small place but is
simple, economic and easy operating. Besides, our developed process
can keep stable process efficiency even in relative low load level.
Therefore, this study judges that use of the high efficient and
combined biological and chemical filter treatment process, it is
expected that the effluent water in this system can be reused as urban
and agricultural water.
Abstract: Biological treatment of secondary effluent wastewater
by two combined denitrification/oxic filtration systems packed with
Lock type(denitrification filter) and ceramic ball (oxic filter) has been
studied for 5months. Two phases of operating conditions were carried
out with an influent nitrate and ammonia concentrations varied from
5.8 to 11.7mg/L and 5.4 to 12.4mg/L,respectively.
Denitrification/oxic filter treatment system were operated under an
EBCT (Empty Bed Contact Time) of 4h at system recirculation ratio in
the range from 0 to 300% (Linear Velocity increased 19.5m/d to
78m/d). The system efficiency of denitrification , nitrification over
95% respectively. Total nitrogen and COD removal range from
54.6%(recirculation 0%) to 92.3%(recirculation 300%) and 10% to
62.5%, respectively.
