Czym jest
Settleable solids are measured by letting a sample stand for one hour and recording how much material settles. It is a practical measure of how much of your solids load a settlement stage will remove, and how much sludge that stage will accumulate.
Skąd się bierze
Heavier particles: grit, sand, soil, vegetable and meat pieces, shell, bone fragments and dense sludge. Root-crop washing, yard drainage, abattoirs and food preparation produce a lot of settleable material.
Dlaczego ma znaczenie
Settleable solids are the main cause of blocked drains and silted sewers, which is why water companies watch them. A high value with an interceptor already in place usually means it is undersized, overdue for emptying, or being bypassed at peak flow.
Co można z tym zrobić
This is the easiest fraction to deal with: screens, grit traps and a correctly sized settlement tank or interceptor, emptied on a schedule that matches your throughput, will remove most of it. A Pozzani engineer can check whether your existing tank is sized for your actual flow.
