Trang 61 Scope
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements for the primary settlement of wastewater at wastewater treatment plants for over 50 PT
The primary application is for wastewater treatment plants designed for the treatment of domestic and municipal wastewater
Differences in wastewater treatment throughout Europe have led to a variety of systems being developed This standard gives fundamental information about the systems; this standard has not attempted to specify all available systems
Detailed information additional to that contained in this standard may be obtained by referring to the Bibliography

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions given in EN 1085 and the following apply
3.1
lamella separator
system of regularly spaced, inclined plates or tubes, designed to increase the effective settling area in a settlement tank
Trang 7EN 12255-4:2002 (E)

4 Requirements
4.1 General
Primary settlement serves the purpose of separating settleable solids, which are removed on a regular basis
in the form of raw sludge Grease and other floating materials which can cause malfunction of a wastewater treatment plant can also be separated and removed during this process Where large quantities of grease
are expected a separate grease separation step is recommended prior to primary settlement (see EN 12255-3)
The type and size of unit(s) will depend on the overall system, PT, sludge removal and ground conditions prevailing on the construction site
Primary treatment may include the following types of settlement tank:
¾ upward flow (including Imhoff) — generally square or circular in plan;
¾ horizontal flow — generally rectangular in plan;
¾ lamella separator
Primary settlement may not be required e.g where biological treatment is by lagooning or by certain
activated sludge processes The consequences for subsequent processes of omitting this step shall be considered
Septic tanks can be used for the function of primary settlement.
NOTE The design, construction and operation of septic tanks is specified in EN 12566-1
4.2 Planning
The requirements for the performance of primary settlement should be determined after consideration of the following factors:
¾ the quality and quantity of sludge produced;
¾ the effect of the residual loads on the subsequent treatment processes;
¾ the need to limit retention time in order to avoid septicity
Those requirements specific to the performance of the primary settlement plant that are specified in
EN 12255-11 shall be applied
Additional requirements are specified in EN 12255-1 and EN 12255-10
Trang 84.3 Process
4.3.1 General
Solids removal and detention times at maximum and minimum flows shall be in accordance with the requirements of any downstream process Where applicable, peak flow shall take into account pumped inflow and/or return flow rates
Wastewater shall enter the tank via a stilling device which shall be capable of dissipating the input energy and ensuring even distribution over the entire settlement zone or lamella plate pack
The procedure for effluent draw-off shall be designed to minimize disturbance to the settling zone and allow removal of floating matter
4.3.2 Required Capacity
The total primary settlement tank capacity required shall take into account the PT and the dry weather peak hourly flow to the plant
4.3.3 Upward Flow Tanks (including Imhoff Tanks)
Upward flow tanks may be square or circular in plan Tanks without mechanical scrapers shall have a hopper bottom for sludge collection
NOTE Tanks square in plan are not usually employed for populations in excess of 5 000 PT
The tank should be so designed that the upward flow velocity is restricted to within a typical range of
1,0 m3/(m2·h) to 2,0 m3/(m2·h) surface area at dry weather peak hourly flow
The minimum sidewall height between the top of the hopper and top water level shall be from 0,3 m to 1,5 m for individual tanks serving populations > 50 PT to 1 000 PT
4.3.4 Horizontal Flow Tanks
Horizontal flow tanks are typically rectangular in plan with a sludge hopper situated at the inlet end of the tank They shall conform to the following minimum values:
¾ 1,5 m water depth at outlet;
¾ 3:1 length to breadth ratio;
¾ 0,3 m freeboard in uncovered tanks
Maximum weir overflow rate shall not exceed 30 m3/(m·h) at dry weather peak hourly flow
Trang 9EN 12255-4:2002 (E)

4.3.5 Lamella Separator
Where these tanks are used they should be equipped with inclined settling plates or tubes, typically forming
a counter current system by water circulating from the bottom to top and sludge moving from top to bottom The lamellae shall be so spaced as to avoid clogging and shall be determined by the effectiveness of upstream screening and grease removal The angle of plates/tubes shall be within a range between 55° and 65°measured from the horizontal
The space between lamellae and the bottom of the tank shall be designed to ensure an even distribution of
wastewater and a sufficient space for the settled sludge.
Sludge should be collected in one or more hoppers and in larger tanks a scraper mechanism may be used to move the sludge to hopper(s) at one end of the tank
The design should allow ease of cleaning of settling plates or tubes on a regular basis
4.3.6 Sludge Collection and Removal
4.3.6.1 Upward Flow Tanks
Small tanks typically do not have a scraper mechanism to assist sludge removal, and therefore shall have a
hopper with smooth sides The angle of slope of the sides of the hopper measured from the horizontal, shall
not be less than 50º for conical and 60º for pyramidal hoppers.
As tank size increases (typically for those serving above 1 000 PT) a hopper with a 50° respectively 60° floor slope becomes impractical due to the depth of excavation required In these cases a shallow sloping floor is required to collect sludge and allow it to be scraped to the central hopper for removal The floor slope should
be between 3º and 30º measured from the horizontal, depending on the size of tank and the type of scraper
to be used
NOTE Where sludge removal is by suction a floor slope may not be required
4.3.6.2 Horizontal Flow Tanks
Very small tanks without a mechanical scraper to assist sludge removal shall have a floor slope of not less than 1:100 to permit emptying to the sludge hopper at the inlet end of the tank These tanks should be completely emptied for sludge removal A minimum of two tanks is required to ensure continuity of treatment Large tanks should have a scraper and/or suction mechanisms installed and a sloping floor may not be required
4.3.7 Scum Removal
All tanks shall be designed with a baffle (scum board) to retain floating matter The design of the tank shall enable the retained matter to be removed
4.4 Maintenance
The requirements for access, spare parts and maintenance of plants are given in EN 12255-1
4.5 Health and Safety
The generality of health and safety requirements for plants are given in EN 12255-10
