Abstract:

The Hypersion Treatment Plant for the City of Los Angeles is currently undergoing an expansion project. A major component of this system is a sludge recycling system. And it is essential that a homogeneous mix of the return sludge and influent wastewater be achieved. It was necessary to design an injection system that provided adequate mixing while minimizing head loss. The injection system was designed based on a mathematical model which quantified velocity gradients under all flow conditions in the mixing zone. After the prototype had been conceptually designed, a model was constructed and is being tested. This paper describes the mathematical model and the physical model, and discusses some initial findings and the continuation of testing.
