Phosphate precipitation with dosing pump
7.3.4
Attention:
The precipitant (ferric chloride or polyaluminium chloride) is
harmful to health when swallowed and irritates the skin. There is the danger
of serious eye injuries.
There is a danger of explosion in conjunction with alkali metals, allyl chlo-
ride and ethylene oxide.
Before using phosphate precipitants, read the
associated safety data sheet! Wear protective clothing when handling
ferric chloride.
Store precipitant containers in a secure area so that they
are inaccessible to unauthorised persons and out of the reach of children.
Systems delivered with the phosphate
precipitation function come with the nec-
essary peristaltic pump in the cabinet.
One suction hose and one pressure hose
are connected to the pump.
The runtime of the peristaltic pump is de-
termined by the pump time set in the ser-
vice menu. The amount of precipitant
added is therefore dependent on the set
time. The large Compact pump has a
potentiometer for setting delivery. The
table below shows the amounts that can
be metered. Refer to the building authori-
ty approval for the amount required in
each case.
Figure 12: Sketch of precipitant equipment
In order to start up the precipitant device, the precipitant container must be placed in a frost-
proof location (e.g. machine cabinet, on the dividing wall or in the system's dome shaft). The
pressure and intake hoses should also be laid in frost-free areas. The pressure hose is to be
routed into the SBR reactor and placed inside the reactor with the outlet located above the reac-
tor basin, ensuring that the precipitant flows directly into the wastewater to be treated and does
not dampen any components (aggressive chemicals entail a risk of damage to components!).
The outlet must never be submerged in the water!
