Berliner-Becken: A New Developed Secondary Clarifier with a Vertical Flow

A model clarifier was designed using conventional methods for the surface calculation and an alternative pathway for the determination of the height and constructed accordingly. In addition, a new approach was used to evaluate the necessary scraper speed in comparison to full‐scale clarifiers. Scaling effects were taken into account. The model clarifier was first tested by tracer experiments. Conductivity measurements were used for the clarification zone, whereas the thickening zone was tested using pyrene as an organic tracer compound. Finally, the behaviour of the model clarifier was compared with a full‐scale settler. The results indicated that operation of the model clarifier was representative of full‐scale behaviour, except for severe overloads. Hence, the small‐scale clarifier qualified as a model for small‐scale studies and could be installed on large‐scale plants to monitor more transparently plant performance and sludge behaviour
