Softening
(Advantages)
 Consistency



No lime purity issues
 Slaking temp
Minimal process upsets

Split treatment
No recarbonation step
(Advantages)
 Integrated with clarification




 Reduces building footprint
Operator experience
Lower capital equipment costs
No concentrate disposal
Reduced plant influent flows
 Reduced pumping costs
Softening Considerations



 Rise rate: 6.0-15.0 gpm/sf
 Reduces building footprint
Higher equipment cost
 Generally more expensive
Little competition
Integrated sludge recycle
 Solids inventory
Tube settlers
Solids Contact Basin
 Loading Rate: 1.75 gpm/sf

Larger footprint
 Competition
