Type of Settling Tank

Shape
- Circular
- Rectangular
- Hopper Bottom Tank
-
Plate & Tube Settler
To reduce the time for the particles to settle and increase settling capacity by reducing the vertical distance of a floc

Inclination:
- 45 to 60 : self-cleaning effect
- greater than 60 : Efficiency of settling is decreased
- < 45 : settler will tend to accumulate solids
Sedimentation is a process of removing solid particles that are heavier than water by gravity settling
