The pH information was used to drive a lime flow controller. The flow controller manipulated the flow of the lime until the pH set-point target of the clean water was achieved. This is the same control system used in commercial treatment systems. In the example, an HF waste stream containing 1,000 ppm HF was treated with lime to a pH set point ...
treatment of water and wastewater. If the pH is too low (acidic) or too high (caustic), it will inhibit the growth of beneficial bacteria. This healthy bacterium is crucial for the process to enable the aerobic digestion and elimination of the biological content of sewage. Figure 1 - Lime Slurry Is Used in Water and Wastewater Treatment to ...
Lime, added as Ca (OH) 2 or CaO, is an inexpensive chemical that is used as a flocculating agent to control odor in wastewater treatment plants. The lime stabilization process consists of adding a lime slurry to the liquid sludge to achieve a pH higher than 12.
The use of the following chemicals will address Alkalinity adjustment issues in your plants. Magnesium Hydroxide, Lime Slurry. Soda Ash. Caustic Soda. With so many options for treating alkalinity, there are three main options that are typically represented in the marketplace for Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) when faced with this question ...
Lime sludge from water treatment plants is as effective as agricultural lime in its ability to neutralize soil acidity. Economic Substitute for Ag Lime. Lime sludge is a by-product of water treatment and is highly available in certain parts of the country, such as Ohio. When compared to the cost of agricultural lime, it is typically ...
A large industrial company within the energy services market was well aware of the benefits of peristaltic pumps for their waste water treatment facility, but the company's high flow rates of lime slurry for the treatment of large volumes of waste water was causing them to take a second look at their two peristaltic pumps in operation and ...
The initial changes to the lime slurry bulk tank allowed for immediate use of lime slurry in the batch treatment system. This was begun in early 1995. As expected from laboratory trials, the use of lime slurry in batches of concentrated metal wastes was very successful. In many batches, the lime slurry …
Lime feed equipment can be a water treatment operators worst enemy or best friend. For decades dry lime feed systems have been designed with a dry storage silo and a lime slurry mix tank at its base. Problems with lime sediment and clogged feed lines often require maintenance to keep those lime feed systems running properly.
Lime slurry is a suspension of calcium hydroxide in water. People call this slurry also „liquid" lime, quicklime or whitewash. This slurry or hydrated lime is chemically very active. This suspension is concentrated to such an extent that pumping is still possible. As long as the slurry can be pumped, it is quite easy to handle.
The invention relates to a zero-discharge treatment process and a zero-discharge treatment device for desulfurization wastewater of a power plant, and belongs to the technical field of water treatment. The method comprises the following steps: treating the power plant flue gas by a lime slurry method to obtain desulfurization wastewater, sending the desulfurization wastewater into a cyclone ...

Hydrated Lime is a highly efficient pH increase agent. It is also used as a primary coagulant for the treatment of industrial waste streams and will contribute to the clarity of the water. In addition, it is suitable for use as sludge stabilizer, as well as sludge conditioner for industrial and domestic waste activated sludge.
Introduction The process of lime stabilization in- volves adding lime to wastewater- derived sludge in quantities sufficient to raise the pH of the sludge to 12.0 for a contact period of at least 2 hours. The high pH reduces levels of pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria and viruses in the sludge and controls putrefaction and odors.
In this process, previously settled sludge is recycled to the reaction tank (HDS tank) where it is mixed with fresh lime slurry. This lime slurry coats the sludge, making it more reactive and able to form stable flocs with the incoming solids in Reaction Tank # 3. The effluent concentration is 0.2 ppm Cr at pH 7.5.
Lime is one of the most common and economical chemicals used in the water and wastewater treatment process. The cost of commercial bulk hydrated lime or prepared lime slurry solutions, however, becomes prohibitive for installations requiring a continuous, high volume supply, typically greater than 45 kgs/hr (100 lbs/hr).
In wet scrubber systems an alkali sorbent solution (limestone or lime) is injected into the flue gas. The sorbent slurry is injected by using a spray tower. The CaCO3 slurry is sprayed from the top to the bottom and the hot flue gas flows from the bottom to the top of the SO 2 absorber (countercurrent flow system). The alkaline slurry reacts with the SO 2 into calcium sulfite, further ...
Even though a simple lime slurry control loop for pH control in many chemical plants is a small portion of the process, it may be a large drain on maintenance costs. Process valves and instrumentation for this part of a process should be chosen carefully. Process plants can select from a wide array of valves to be used in lime slurry.
Because you are going to need to make up the process steps between quicklime and slurry on site (remembering that lime is almost always added to water/wastewater treatment processes as a slurry). This will require investment in a slaker to safely control the exothermic reaction that results when you add water to quicklime.
