sedimentointisäiliössä
Sedimentointisäiliö, often translated as sedimentation tank or clarifier, is a crucial component in many industrial and municipal water treatment processes. Its primary function is to remove suspended solids from a liquid by gravity. The design of a sedimentation tank relies on Stokes' Law, which describes the settling velocity of particles based on their size, density, and the viscosity of the liquid.
Water or wastewater enters the sedimentation tank at a relatively low velocity. This reduced flow rate allows
Different types of sedimentation tanks exist, including rectangular, circular, and inclined plate clarifiers, each optimized for
