Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sludge treatment plant associated with a pressurized leading-edge tunneling machine and to a method for managing such a station.
  • a tunnel pressurized front end is a public works machine comprising, in the front part, a circular shield, one side is equipped with a rotary cutting wheel.
  • This cutting wheel digs a tunnel whose diameter substantially corresponds to the diameter of the shield.
  • the cutting wheel works under pressure. It is mounted at the front of a chamber, called the slaughter chamber, depending on the direction of travel of the tunnel boring machine.
  • the rear part of the tunnel boring machine comprises, in addition to various devices allowing the circulation of fluids between the tunnel and the surface, all the devices for piloting, safety and setting up the voussoirs constituting the tunnel.
  • a tunnel boring machine drills the ground a distance corresponding generally to the width of a voussoir before stopping to ensure the establishment of the latter from the follower train. To ensure its advance in the ground, the tunneling machine advances by building on the voussoirs previously set up.
  • the cutting wheel works under pressure to balance the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the geological layers on the TBM shield.
  • the pressures exerted by the ground on the cutting wheel are generally between 1 and 5 bar and may in some cases be greater than 12 bar.
  • TBM is particularly used either to intervene in terrain, having a high hydrostatic pressure, or in land with pulverulent materials and / or with high risk of clogging due, for example, to a clay soil nature.
  • Mud is injected under pressure to the front of the leading edge from the slaughter chamber.
  • This sludge in addition to a lubrication role of the cutting wheel, ensures the stability of the walls of the excavation.
  • the sludge, brought from the surface, also makes it possible, during its return trip to the surface, to ensure the transport of the materials resulting from the excavation.
  • the circulation of the sludge in the slaughter chamber thus makes it possible to maintain a constant pressure at the level of the cutting wheel. Pressurizing the mud thus injected at the front of the tunnel boring machine is carried out by pumps, called pickling pumps. If necessary, a compressed air bubble created behind the slaughter chamber completes the pressure maintenance.
  • the sludge used generally includes bentonite.
  • bentonite Such a clay, because of its rheological qualities, is injected on the cutting edge in order to consolidate and stabilize the latter by forming an impermeable coating on the walls, which makes it possible to keep the excavation in shape until it is put into place. in place of the voussoirs.
  • Bentonite is a non-Newtonian clay that has the property of being liquid when it is in motion, that is to say when it is conveyed in pipes and / or projected, and to form a rapidly drying paste in absence of stress, that is to say at rest, when projected on the walls of the excavation.
  • the sludge entering and leaving the tunnel boring machine is managed by a sludge treatment and preparation station which is permanently connected to the tunnel boring machine head.
  • This station must ensure a regular supply of sludge both in quantity, that is to say in flow, as in quality, especially with respect to specific rheological characteristics.
  • This soil can be more or less clay, more or less hard with the presence of so-called polluted areas, especially in urban areas. Polluted areas include, for example, portions of concrete structures, which is typically the case at the beginning and at the end of digging of the tunnel since the tunnel boring machine must drill the wall of the well through which it was lowered or by which it will be reassembled.
  • the pollution may also consist of gypsum or areas of salt that will also alter the characteristics of the mud.
  • the sludge injected on the cutting edge may thus consist exclusively of so-called mother sludge, that is to say an aqueous solution of bentonite or, conversely, consisting solely of recycled sludge and / or without bentonite .
  • the spent sludge from the cutting wheel comprises a portion of the injected mother sludge, unused, and clearing materials. This used sludge is, initially, recycled.

  • This tank is provided, upstream, a means for evacuating the surplus of the slurry mixture.
  • This means is formed by a float valve. In this way, only a given quantity of the sludge mixture produced in the treatment tank is taken. Using this float valve, excess sludge is directed to a used sludge storage tank prior to its treatment as ultimate waste, for example, by pressing into slabs.
  • Such a solution makes it possible to have, permanently, a given amount of sludge corresponding to the mixture that is to be reinjected and which has been prepared in the pickling tank.
  • This tray provides a constant and steady flow of sludge at the cutting wheel.
  • mother sludge in the pickling sludge, which may be almost exclusively composed of regenerated sludge.
  • mother mud in the pickling sludge, for example when the tunnel boring machine drills in polluted soil, to avoid pollution of the mother sludge.
  • recycled sludge may be suitable.
