Sedimentation process at glass matchining facilities

ABSTRACTIn present, due to growing economy, production facilities aim to be larger. In this case, plantsneed effective supplemantary units, for instance process water units. In glass machiningbusiness, the cooling water in use, gets tiny glass particles from the process.These particleseffects negatively quality of products and equipments if the process water has a circulationuse from it?s indivual tank. In order to remove suspended glass particles from the processwater, sedimentation can be used. The sedimentation units in use have been investigated.The factors which effect sedimentation efficiency such as polimeric flocculants and lamellaseperator systems has been studied on.Also, the proper polymer dosage and type has been deeply discussed in this study.A reletad project work has been performed, results and a sketch cost analysis has been givenas details.Keywords: Sedimentation of glass particles, sedimentation with lamella seperator,Flocculation, polymer.xi
