Introduction & Objective of Present WorkIntroduction & Objective of Present Work

Water and sewage treatment systems are well known. For more than 50 years, rectangular clarifiers (rectangular concrete tanks) have been used in the treatment and purification of sewage, sewer drain, and drinking water. They are used to remove those materials which are either not biodegradable or cannot be chemically treated during the water purification process. Systems include motor-driven sprockets which move two parallel chains which have flight members attached there. The flight members scrape the floor of rectangular clarifier tank in one direction, gathering all solid waste materials which have fallen to the floor of the tank and moving them to a cross collector located at one end of rectangular tank.The power transmitted from motor to head shaft which transmitted power to follower stub shaft.

Objective of present work: The objective of current project is to replacement of solid head shaft design to combination of solid and hollow shaft design.

Benefits of proposed new head shaft design.

-Reduction in weight.

-Better strength.

-Cost reduction.

-Manufacturing time reduction.

Literature ReviewLiterature Review

Since five decade various research and development work done on sludge collector of waste water treatment plant and few of them also patented. Under US patent US6279752 B1, Joseph R. Hannum (Aug 28, 2001) invented waste water treatment system for use in a rectangular clarifying tank using solid head shaft design.

Under US patent US5454942 A, Bertil A. Ljungberg (Oct 3, 1995) invented purification of liquids, including water, milk and the like, utilizing an air floatation basin and a skimming device for removal of floating sludge. using solid head shaft design.

Under US patent US6260716 B1, Henri Fontaine, Erick Breton(Jul 17, 2001) invented removing operation of scum, sludge or other matters floating at the surface of water, waste water, sewage or the like in a clarifying tank, and more particularly to a scum sweeper used for performing such an operation, and a system using such a scum sweeper to sweep surface floating matters into a collector channel or pipe in a clarifying tank, using solid head shaft design.

Under European patent EP0198334 A2, Joseph Robert Hannum(Oct 22, 1986) invented water clarifier and sewage treatment device comprising a rectangular tank including a floor, a pair of side walls and a pair of end walls, spindles secured to the side walls, sprockets received on said spindles, a pair of chains meshing with the sprockets, a pair of which sprockets is connected by a drive shaft and driven by drive means while the other ones are idler sprockets, and a plurality of flight members secured to the chains for scraping the floor of the tank, using solid head shaft design.

Theoretical Analysis and Data CollectionTheoretical Analysis and Data Collection

Hollow Vs solid shaft:

Section Modulus = I/c

where I = Moment of Inertia

c = Distance to extreme fiber

Hollow shaft: O.D. = 6.625”, I.D. = 5.761 (6” Schedule 40)

Weight = 28.57 pounds/ft.

Moment of Inertia for hollow shaft = 0.049087 x (OD4 – ID4) = 40.4904

Section modulus for hollow shaft = 0.049087 x (OD4 – ID4) x 2U

OD

= 12.2

4.99” dia. Solid shaft weight = 66.65 pounds/ft.

Moment of Inertia for 4.99” solid shaft = 0.785398 x R4 = 30.4349

Section modulus for 4.99” solid shaft = 0.785398 x R4 /R = 12.2

Result: 57% material saving for the same section modulus

Problem Identification & MethodologyProblem Identification & Methodology

The major problem in replacement of solid shaft is the creation of key way in long solid shaft. The key way is important feature of head shaft to mount the chain sprocket.

The identified problem can be solved by design the head shaft in to combination of hollow and solid shaft.The concept model shown below.

Schematic Diagram of load on Bull sprocket and Chain Sprocket:

• Maximum torque developed at bull sprocket

= (Bull sprocket PCD/2)* Max Tangential force= (33.25/2)*1920= 31920 lb.in

• Maximum torque at by drive end and non drive end sprocket.

= (Sprocket PCD/2)* Max Tangential force= (22.23/2)*2860= 31788.9 lb.in

Note: Referring water treatment standard data.Standard Bull sprocket PCD uses in 4.5” Dia shaft = 33.25”Standard chain sprocket PCD uses in 4.5” Dia shaft = 22.225”For 15 Hp Motor & 5 Row Flight conveyer. Max load applied on bull sprocket = 1920 lb. and Max. loaad applied on chain sprocket = 2860 lb. each side.
