Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop of hydro cyclone efficiency for electrocoagulation waste water treatment. In this study, the hydro cyclone was designed by increasing the size of the diameter to 8 inches, 6 rotation channels. And it was tested for the separation of sediments from the waste water in the function of electricity and flow rate in order to investigate the optimum point, which is the point where the system works best performance. The results of performance tested, with function of DC power supply, flow rate and number of hydro cyclones designed, can be classified into 3 cases: The 1st case: using single hydro cyclone separator, to separate the sediments from the waste water, the best of separation efficiency was 4.5 L/min flow rate. And it was excluded the remaining sediments for 48.28 mg/L from 1,735 mg/L. The effective segregation of sediment was 97.22%. The 2nd case: using double hydro cyclones separator, to separate the sediments from the waste water, the best of separation efficiency was 7.5 L/min flow rate. And it was excluded the remaining sediments for 36.76 mg/L from 1,578 mg/L. The effective segregation of sediments was 97.67%. The 3rd case: using triple hydro cyclones separator, to separate the sediments from the waste water, the best of separation efficiency was 4.5 L/min flow rate. And it was excluded the remaining sediments for 29.08 mg/L from 1,735 mg/L. The effective segregation of sediments was 98.32%. All these results can be well explained using the 3 hydro cyclones separator to separate the sediments from the wastewater, the best of separation efficiency at a rate of 4.5 L/min. And it was excluded the remaining sediments to 98.32%. These optimized hydro cyclones can be used with electrocoagulation wastewater treatment in industrial factory as well.
