Scum Treatment & Management Process
A comprehensive guide to efficient and environmentally responsible scum treatment in water processing facilities
Collection & Storage
- Use automated scraping equipment for regular removal
- Adjust equipment speed to prevent scum breakup
- Temporary storage in dedicated sealed containers
- Prevent odor spread and secondary contamination
- Limit storage time to avoid fermentation/dehydration
Pretreatment & Reduction
- Filter or screen to remove large impurities
- Add conditioning agents to reduce viscosity
- Use heating or stirring to break down structure
- Release trapped moisture to reduce volume
- Save cost and space for subsequent processing
Dehydration & Solidification
- Use filter presses or centrifuges for dehydration
- Add flocculants to enhance dehydration process
- Test filter cake for stability and safety
- Reduce volume for easier transport and disposal
- Ensure no harmful substances leach out
Resource Recycling
- Extract recoverable metal ions or components
- Use chemical dissolution or roasting methods
- Repurpose as auxiliary building materials
- Use as landfill cover soil after treatment
- Conduct rigorous component analysis
Safe Disposal & Standards
- Dispose according to hazardous waste standards
- Entrust to qualified entities for incineration
- Adhere to environmental regulations strictly
- Purify filtrate and exhaust gas
- Maintain treatment ledger for traceability
