Fijnbezinking
Fijnbezinking is a water- and wastewater treatment process aimed at removing suspended solids by gravity sedimentation, with a focus on fine particles. It is commonly used as a clarification step after pretreatment such as coagulation and flocculation to improve effluent clarity and reduce turbidity. In fijnbezinking, flow enters a sedimentation tank designed to provide sufficient residence time for smaller particles to settle to the bottom, forming sludge, while the clarified liquid overflows from the top.
Typically, fijnbezinking uses an enlarged settling area, often achieved with lamella or inclined-plate packs, to increase
Applications of fijnbezinking include municipal wastewater treatment, industrial effluent treatment, and polishing steps in drinking water
Advantages of fijnbezinking include high removal efficiency for small solids, the possibility of compact design with
