Abstract
In a waste water treatment system having a container and waste water disposed therein, an apparatus for treating a sludge blanket comprising at least one spray assembly, the spray assembly fluidly connected to a source of fluid, the spray assembly having a spray head positioned above the waste water, the spray head being adapted to spray fluid such that when fluid is sprayed from the spray head, the sprayed fluid will suppress a sludge blanket on the waste water.
Claims6
In a waste water treatment system having a container and waste water disposed therein, said container having a cover, said waste water having a waste water/air interface located below said cover, said waste water having waste particles positioned therein, some of said particles being floatable on said waste water/air interface and combinable to form a sludge blanket, an apparatus for treating said sludge blanket comprising at least one spray assembly, said spray assembly fluidly connected to a source of fluid, said spray assembly having a spray head positioned inside said container and above said waste water/air interface, said spray head being adapted to spray fluid such that when fluid is sprayed from said spray head, said sprayed fluid will substantially suppress said sludge blanket on said waste water.
In a waste water treatment system having a container and waste water disposed therein, said waste water treatment system further having a clarifier area, said clarifier area fluidly connected to said container, said clarifier having waste water disposed therein, said waste water in said clarifier area having a waste water/air interface area, said waste water in said clarifier having waste particles positioned therein, some of said particles being floatable on said waste water/air interface and combinable to form said sludge blanket, an apparatus for treating a sludge blanket comprising at least one spray assembly, said spray assembly fluidly connected to a source of fluid, said spray assembly having a spray head positioned above said waste water in said clarifier area, said spray head being adapted to spray fluid such that when fluid is sprayed from said spray head, said sprayed fluid will substantially suppress a sludge blanket in said clarifier area.
