ENHANCING WATER TREATMENT RECOVERY FROM RETENTION POND AT FERTILIZER PLANTS

A system for the treatment of phosphate-containing wastewater comprises a pretreatment subsystem including a mixing chamber configured to mix a potassium-based salt with the wastewater to precipitate K2SiF6 from the wastewater, a solids-liquid separator to separate the precipitated K2SiF6 from the w...

Zusammenfassung:A system for the treatment of phosphate-containing wastewater comprises a pretreatment subsystem including a mixing chamber configured to mix a potassium-based salt with the wastewater to precipitate K2SiF6 from the wastewater, a solids-liquid separator to separate the precipitated K2SiF6 from the wastewater and form a pretreated wastewater, and a mixing chamber to dilute the pretreated wastewater with raw wastewater, and a filtration subsystem including a first filtration configured to receive the pretreated wastewater and remove particles to form a first effluent, a second filtration unit remove divalent ions from the first effluent and form a second effluent, and a third filtration unit configured to remove additional dissolved solids from the second effluent and form a third effluent suitable for discharge to the environment.
