17、ction This method gives a standardized procedure for the conditioning operation when selecting a conditioning product at laboratory scale and also for the production of flocculated thickened sludge for subsequent dewatering tests. These tests may also provide details regarding energy requirements, p

18、rovided information on stirring power is available. BS EN 14742:2015EN 14742:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope The laboratory assessment of sludge dewaterability is sensitive to the operating procedure adopted for the conditioning step. No generalized ranking of products in order of effectiveness can be given sinc

19、e the ranking changes with the sludge type, dosage of conditioning agent, degree of shearing and dewatering device. The scope of this European Standard applies for sludges and suspensions from: storm water handling; urban wastewater collecting systems; urban wastewater treatment plants; industrial w

20、astewater that has been treated similarly to urban wastewater (as defined in Directive 91/271/EEC); water supply plants. This method is applicable to sludge and suspensions of other origin. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this docume

24、l conditioning mixing of a chemical product with the sludge in order to increase its thickenability/dewaterability 4 Principle Sludge conditioned in accordance with this procedure (Clause 6) can subsequently be used in specific characterization tests in order to determine the most suitable operating

25、 conditions for each particular sludge or suspension; these tests determine particularly the required nature of the reagent, the dosage, and the sequence of adding the reagent. Each test is performed as a batch process. BS EN 14742:2015EN 14742:2015 (E) 6 Variables and/or parameters that can have si

26、gnificant effects on the conditioned sludge are either chemical or physical. Chemical parameters: characteristics of the sludge, e.g. pH, dry residue, loss on ignition; characteristics of the conditioning product, e.g. charge density, molecular weight, chemical structure; concentration and dosage of

27、 the chemical product; water used for on-site product preparation when polyelectrolytes are added. Physical parameters: method of preparing the solution and its storage; intensity and duration of stirring; characteristics of the stirrer, i.e. type, dimensions, position; method of injecting the condi

28、tioning product into the sludge; (separation-) time between the end of mixing and the dewatering procedure itself. The method of mixing the conditioning product into the sludge is particularly important since inadequate mixing, leading to poor initial dispersion or strong floc shearing, can result i

29、n very poor test performances: a large portion of the product may react instantly with particles upon first contact, without dispersing throughout the mixture. Inorganic coagulants are generally injected into a reactor with a short residence time (1 min to 5 min) in a high shearing condition. For th

30、is purpose, the reactor is equipped with a high rotating speed stirrer that enables an instantaneous dispersion of the product and brings the high energy needed (e.g. 80 W/m3to 100 W/m3). Polyelectrolytes are injected into a reactor with a residence time of a few seconds to a few minutes. As far as

31、mechanical degradation can occur, the shearing rate is 4 to 10 times lower than for coagulants and the energy needed lower (e.g. 40 W/m3to 50 W/m3). The conditioning procedure may concern the addition of more than one product. In that case, the addition sequence is another parameter that requires ca

32、reful instructing. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Device with control and measurement of physical parameters (variable stirrer/mixer speed and time, position of mechanical stirrer depending on sludge volume, see Annex B). A magnetic stirrer is not recommended, as it does not ensure homogenous and reproducible mixi

33、ng. A mechanical stirrer with 4 horizontal perpendicular blades is recommended for proper polymer dispersion and floc maturation. In case the formed flocs are very sensitive to shearing, a tilted 3-blade stirrer (see Annex B) should be used. The characteristics of mechanical stirrer shall be the sam

34、e in comparative tests. Length of each impeller blade should be between 1/4 and 1/3 of the beaker diameter. 5.2 Beakers, volume 200 ml to 1 000 ml. 5.3 Volumetric pipettes or syringe or automatic polymer injection system at constant flow rate. 5.4 Analytical balance with a precision of at least 0,1

35、mg. BS EN 14742:2015EN 14742:2015 (E) 7 5.5 pH-meter 5.6 Chronometer, e.g. stopwatch, computer. 5.7 Apparatus for evaluation of flocculation drainability, e.g. drainage cell (see EN 14701-4). 6 Procedure 6.1 Measure the pH of the sludge to be tested according to EN 15933. If necessary, adjust the pH

36、 to meet the requirements of the conditioning agent to be used. 6.2 Measure the dry residue of the sludge to be tested according to EN 12880. NOTE The loss on ignition could be determined for additional information. For details, see EN 15935. 6.3 Put a defined amount of sludge into a beaker. The amo

37、unt of sludge should be between 25 % and 50 % of the capacity of the beaker to avoid loss of sludge during mixing and sludge height between 0,5 and 1 diameter of the cell to ensure proper mixing. It should be taken into account that the whole flocculated sludge will be transferred in a drainage cell

38、 and the quantity of dry matter deposited on the filter cloth should be between 0,25 kg/m2and 1,5 kg/m2. 6.4 Adjust the position of the stirrer to the sludge volume (the stirrer should be positioned from the beaker bottom at 1/3 of the sludge volume). 6.5 Polymer addition and dispersion Add a precis

39、e amount of conditioning agent using a volumetric pipette or syringe before stirring. Ensure proper distribution of the polymer, across the level surface of the sludge. If the conditioning agent injection is prepared during the stirring of the sludge, add it in the shortest amount of time possible a

40、t a controlled and constant flow rate. It is recommended to report the time of the beginning of the injection (TB1) and the time at the end of the injection (TE1). The solution of conditioning agent should be prepared according to the recommendations of suppliers and should be used the day of prepar

41、ation within 3 h after preparation. NOTE Rapid pre-selection of conditioning agents can be made by pouring the sludge back and forth between two beakers in order to check if flocs are formed. In case of coagulant use, disperse the product at high speed (1 700 rpm) for 2 min and let the microflocs gr

42、ow at 700 rpm. In case of polymer use, the mixing speed of the horizontal 4-blade impeller should be kept constant at 700 rpm since polymer dispersion and floc maturation occur simultaneously. In case of highly shear-sensitive flocs, it is recommended to disperse the flocculent in the sludge using a

43、n axial impeller (tilted 3-blade impeller) at high speed (1 700 rpm) for a very short time (2 s max), followed by a low speed (700 rpm) to enable floc growing. In this case, it is useful to differentiate: TBB1: Beginning time of polymer dispersion = TE1 TEE1: End of polymer dispersion TBB2: Beginnin

44、g of polymer maturation BS EN 14742:2015EN 14742:2015 (E) 8 TEE2: End of polymer maturation 6.6 Floc maturation Continue stirring until polymer maturation (TEE2) is reached. Mixing time is the variable parameter for floc growth, depending on the sludge and conditioning agent characteristics. Prelimi

45、nary tests are recommended to evaluate this parameter by visual observation of floc formation without shearing or by quantitative measurement (torque measurement, particle size). Then, mixing time will be fixed and kept constant for comparative tests. 6.7 Transfer the whole flocculated sludge into a

46、 drainage cell to evaluate flocculation drainability according to EN 14701-4 and produce thickened sludge for further specific dewatering test (e.g. CST, specific resistance to filtration) immediately after the conditioning procedure. An automatic transfer from the flocculation cell in the drainage

47、cell as in the device described in Annex B (Bootest) is recommended to avoid operators influence on transfer to drainage cell or on floc sampling. 6.8 Repeat steps 6.3 to 6.8 for a lower stirring speed only if flocculation does not take place. 7 Test report The test report (example in Annex C) shall

48、 include at least the following information: a) reference to this European Standard (EN 14742); b) all information necessary for complete identification of the sludge sample; c) details of sample pretreatment, if carried out; d) details of the experimental device; e) nature, dosage and preparation p
