Abstract: The circular clarifier cleaning system includes a mainframe to which all various components are attached for the prevention of growth and accumulation of the algae and debris. The components within the system include gravity-driven, horizontal and vertical sweeping chains. The outer trough wall, V-notch weirs, baffle plate wall, and inner baffle plate wall are all cleaned utilizing a rotating chain system device. Two main drag chains are used to clean the effluent trough and the overflow in the overflow wall after the V-notch weirs. An individual chain is utilized as a “garland” to clean the V-notch weirs at the overflow. The circular clarifier cleaning system is driven by an existing skimmer arm found on all secondary clarifiers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the removal and destruction of fibrous materials suspended in a liquid, more particularly for the disintegration and incineration of fibers which enter the wastewater process and builds up in the primary settling tank, aeration basins, clarifiers, and sludge holding zones. The fibrous containing liquid is pumped from a holding tank into an incineration chamber and passed through a filtration grid assembly, depositing the suspended fibers and debris thereon, and returns to the holding tank. After a predetermined time period, the pumping action is terminated. The debris deposited on the grid assembly is then completely incinerated. After the grid assembly has sufficiently cooled water is again pumped into the incineration chamber to wash away the ashes remaining into the holding tank. The ashes settle to the bottom of the holding tank, later to be removed along with the other debris settled on the bottom as is known in the art. The procedure is then repeated.
