    SECTION 46 43 53 SOLIDS CONTACT CLARIFIER EQUIPMENT

    PART 1 - GENERAL

    1.1 DESCRIPTION

    A. There shall be furnished replacement parts and new drive units for two (2) existing solidscontact clarifier mechanisms. The solids contact clarifier mechanism replacement parts anddrives shall be designed to mix and recirculate chemical additives and solids to produce asettleable floc that can be raked to the center for recirculation or solids removal.

    B. The existing solids contact basins have a circular, raked area 45 feet in diameter with a side

    water depth of 14 feet, a freeboard of 6 inches, and a bottom slope of 1 inch in 12 inches.

    C. Influent currently enters the existing basins through a side influent pipe and discharges into acentral recirculation drum where it mixes with chemicals and previously precipitated solids. Thismixture of re-circulated solids and influent then discharges into the upper zone of a baffledcentral reaction well cylinder, where flocculation and particle contact take place. The mixturethen flows downward in an expanding reaction well cone with a large percentage of the flowreturning to the central recirculation drum to be re-contacted. The remainder of the flowcontinues outward under the deflection shelf at the periphery of the reaction well cone into the

    clarification zone and upward into the effluent launders. Settled solids are positively raked tothe center of the mechanisms and either re-suspended within the recirculation drum ordischarged into the solids thickening trough. Internal recirculation is accomplished by a singlereaction turbine providing the specified internal recirculation capacity while operating at tipspeeds that are not destructive to the floc.

    D. The new replacement parts for existing solids contact clarifier mechanism #1 shall include:

    Inspection Notes:

    Comments and Recommendations

    1. Clarifier mechanicals which include all metal structures below the bridge should be sand blasted andpainted, in particular structures above the water line.

    2. Add squeegees to the rake plows.3. Replace the turbine raft tube and rake tube.4. Straighten the bent plows.5. Add a lower support bearing.6. Replace drive unit with a gear motor type. No hydraulics and variable speed achieved through AC

    Frequency drives. AC frequency drives are clean, very reliable and efficient and provide many features obtained with hydraulic systems.

    Regarding item 5, the shaft is 3.9375 and requires a lower support bearing. SCC No. 1 is not designed a lower support bearing. The rake shaft on the SCC No. 1 is an 8 pipe.

    With a new drive unit, the clarifier rake shaft should be modified to be the same as SCC No. 1.

    Inspection Notes:

    Comments and Recommendations

    1. Clarifier mechanicals which include all metal structures below the bridge should be sand blasted andpainted, in particular structures above the water line. New components are not required.2. Squeegees should be removed before sand blasting.3. Replace drive unit with a gear motor type. No hydraulics and variable speed achieved through AC

    Frequency drives. AC frequency drives are clean, very reliable and efficient and provide many features obtained with hydraulic systems.

    The SC Clarifier is found fit for service. Recoating the metals structures will add service life to theclarifier.
