Raw water, which may contain suspended solid particles, is introduced into the upper part of the sedimentation tank, where it is kept still or allowed to flow slowly through the device. During this process, heavier solid particles tend to settle toward the bottom of the tank under the effect of gravity.
The solid particles that accumulate at the bottom of the sedimentation tank form sludge or slurry. These sediments are periodically removed through devices such as scrapers or via the discharge process.
Clarified water—water stripped of solid particles—is collected from the upper part or the clean collection zone of the sedimentation tank.
Ecoacciaio sedimentation tanks, featuring sophisticated sedimentation mechanisms including high-precision scrapers for efficient sediment removal, are essential for state-of-the-art water treatment. Their technical features include controlled discharge systems, a modular design that adapts to diverse process conditions, and the use of high wear-resistant materials.
