Deep Run Road Whiteford, MD () FAX () An occasional check to ensure that the torque control is functioning properly can prevent catastrophic damage to the drive and clarifier that might occur in the unlikely event of a malfunction. Many torque control mechanisms have a manual bypass and a visual torque indicator that make it easy to check their functioning.

The wastewater enters the baffled zone located in the clarifier beneath the Bioclere filter module. It is then pumped to the distribution assembly, which doses the surface of the filter media. The oxidation process occurs as the water trickles over the biological film that grows on the media surface. To simulate sludge circulation, sludge formed in one series of jar tests (or a sludge sample from an operating clarifier) may be added to the next jar test. Results of jar tests are only relative, and frequent adjustments are necessary in full-scale plant operation.
