Experience of Suckling Perfection of Secondary Clarifier of Aeration Station in Almaty, Kazakhstan

This article presents the results of experimental studies pertaining to the suckling improvement of secondary clarifier in an aeration station in Almaty. According to the obtained research results, the work of secondary clarifiers was evaluated for the removal of suspended solids, concentration of returned sludge and sediment moisture. The technical specifications of aerations, secondary settling tanks and cesspool emptier in the aeration station of Almaty were defined. Additionally, it was shown that the use of the articulated sucker with movable scrapers can increase the efficiency of cleaning the bottom of the circular tanks. In this practical test, the proposed suckling radial settler in aeration station of Almaty during the year showed that the sucker reduces the costs for the installation and maintenance of cesspool emptier and has no damaging effects on the bottom of the sump.
