The Kynch theory of hindered sedimentation is used to investigate all possible modes of operation of a continuous flow gravitational settling chamber. The investigation is then extended to centrifugal sedimentation. An application to blood cell separation is suggested. Download to read the full article text.

Pre-Sedimentation Not all systems use pre-sedimentation, but pre-sedimentation is often used when raw water turbidity is high or highly variable. Pre-sedimentation basins range in size, depending on the flow, and the water is sometimes pre-treated with a coagulant and/or a polymer prior to entering the pre-sedimentation basin (AWWA, 1999).

Sedimentation, also known as settling, may be defined as the removal of solid particles from a suspension by settling under gravity. Clarification is a similar term that usually refers specifically to the function of a sedimentation tank in removing suspended matter from the water to give a clarified effluent. In a broader sense, clarification ...

The constant rate period corresponds to pulp settling at its initial concentration. During the final falling rate section the pulp is in compression. Point C is known as the compression point or the critical sedimentation point, and identifies the point at which the pulp-supernatant interface goes from zone settling into compression.

Thickeners & Clarifiers. Thickeners and clarifiers are both used to separate liquids and solids by settling. Thickeners are used to concentrate solids, while clarifiers are used to purify liquids. Clarifiers can be circular clarifiers, pictured on the left, or parallel plate clarifiers, pictured on the right.
