SEDIMENTATION
Overview of the Process
Location in the Treatment Plant
 After the source water has been coagulated and flocculated, it is ready for
sedimentation.
Objective of Sedimentation
to separate solids from liquid using the force of
gravity. In sedimentation, only suspended solids (SS)
are removed.
Use
Sedimentation is used in water and wastewater
treatment plants
Applications in Water Treatment:
1. settling of coagulated and flocculated waters prior to
filtration
2. settling of coagulated and flocculated waters in a
softening plant
3. settling of treated waters in an iron and manganese
removal plant
Applications in Wastewater Treatment:
1. grit removal
2. suspended solids removal in primary clarifier
3. biological floc removal in activated sludge
Sedimentation Basins
Shapes
− Circular, Rectangular, and Square
Sizes
•Circular
– 15 to 300 ft (diameter) and 6 to 16 ft (depth)
– Typical sizes are 35 to 150 ft (diameter) and 10 to 14 ft
(depth)
•Square
– 35 to 200 ft (width) and 6 to 19 ft (depth)
•Rectangular (depends on sludge removal mechanism)
•Freeboard
– 1 to 1.25 ft for circular and square tanks
SETTLING of particles from suspension depends on:
Characteristics of the Particles Concentration of Particles in Suspension
DISCRETE
PARTICLES
particles
whose
size, shape
and
specific
gravity
do not
change
with time.
FLOCCULATING
PARTICLES
particles whose
surface properties
are such that they
aggregate upon
contact
Thus, changing in
size,shape, and
perhaps specific
gravity with each
contact.
DILUTE SUSPENSIONS
suspensions in which the
concentration of
particles is not sufficient
to cause
significant displacement
of water as they settle or
in which the particles
will not be close
enough for velocity
field interference to
occur
CONCENTRATED
SUSPENSIONS
suspensions in
which
the concentration
of particles is too
great to meet the
conditions
mentioned for
dilute
suspensions
TYPE 1
(discrete
particle
settling)
· settling of discrete particles in dilute suspensions
· particles have no tendency to flocculate
· they settle as individual entities and there is no
significant interaction with neighboring particles
Example:
removal of grit and sand in
wastewater treatment
TYPE 2
(flocculant
settling)
· settling of flocculant particles in dilute suspensions
· as particle settle and coalesce with other particles,
the sizes of particles and their settling velocity
increases
Examples:
• removal of SS in
primary sedimentation
tanks of WWTP
• settling of chemically
coagulated waters
TYPE 3
(hindered
settling)
or
(zone settling)
· settling of intermediate concentration of flocculant
particles
· particles are so close together that interparticle
forces are able to hold them in fixed positions
relative to each other and the mass of particles
settles as a zone at a constant velocity
Example:
biological floc removal in
secondary settling basins of
WWTP
TYPE 4
(compression
settling)
· settling of particles that are of such a high
concentration that the particles touch each other
and settling can occur only by compression which
takes place from the weight of particles
Examples:
· occurs in the bottom of
deep secondary clarifiers
· in sludge thickening
facilities
Sedimentation Tanks
Sedimentation tanks can be divided into 4 different
functional zones:
1. Inlet zone
2. Settling zone
3. Sludge zone
4. Outlet zone
•should disseminate influent energy
•distribute the flow
•mitigate density currents
•minimize sludge blanket disturbance
Inlet structures are designed to uniformly distribute the influent
suspension over the cross section of the settling zone.
For Rectangular Basins
full width inlet channels - effective spreading of flow introduce a
vertical velocity component into sludge
happen that may resuspend sludge.
INLET ZONE
inlet channels with submerged orifices
For sedimentation tank followed by flocculation
(width of flocculation basin – width of settling tank)
Depth of inlet channel = depth of flocculator basin
Pipe connection between flocculation unit & sedimentation
Low velocity in pipe - settling of floc
High velocity in pipe - breakage of floc
Permissible flow velocity to maintain floc suspension
0.15 – 0.6 m/sec
If sedimentation tank does not adjoin a flocculator
inlet channels with submerged orifices do not extend down the
full depth of the tank
For circular tanks
circular tanks -radial flow
to achieve a radial flow, pattern influent is introduced
in the center of the tank or around the periphery of the tank
Central feed
water enters a circular well designed to distribute
the flow equally in all directions
D of feed well = 15-20 % of tank diameter
Depth= 1- 2.5m
Velocity through the orificies on feed well
0.075- 0.15 m/sec
Entrance Pipe
suspended from bridge OR encased in concrete beneath the
tank floor
It depends on the following design parameters:
Settling characteristics of the suspended matter
Surface loading (over flow rate)
Width / length ratio OR diameter
Detention time
SETTLING ZONE
Rectangular tanks - the bottom is slightly sloped to facilitate
sludge scraping
a pair of endless conveyor chains
bridge – type mechanism
continuously pulls the settled material into a sludge hopper where it
is pumped out periodically.
Motion of scraper
momentarily resuspend lighter particles a few cm above the
scraper blades
Excessive horizontal velocity (for the case of rectangular basins)
move these materials towards outlet zone.
SLUDGE ZONE
To prevent this,
Horizontal Velocity
9 m/hr for light flocculant suspensions
36 m/hr for heavier discrete suspensions
Bridge type mechanism
travels up and down the tank
one or more scraper blades are suspended from the bridge
Circular tanks
The bottom of the tank is sloped to form an inverted cone and
the sludge is scraped to a relatively small hopper located near
the center of the tank.
Velocity or scraper
Important
Very high velocIty
resuspension of settled particles (<5mm/sn)
Travelling bridge with sludge suction headers and pumps
not very good
Weir channels are used.
Large weir loading
resuspension of particles settled near to effluent launders
Effluent weirs
placed as far from the inlet as possible
To increase weir length (i.e to decrease weir loading)
double-sided weirs can be used
Typical weirs
90˚ V notch metal plates bolted onto the effluent collection
through
OUTLET ZONE
May be placed at the opposite end of the rectangular basins
through the entire width of tank
through the length of the tank
If the weir loading causes the required weir length to be greater
than tank width the channel may be extended to a length of 1/3 the
basin length (Reynolds)
around the perimeter of center – feed circular tanks
at the center of peripheral feed circular tanks

  • 15. Circular tanks The bottom of the tank is sloped to form an inverted cone and the sludge is scraped to a relatively small hopper located near the center of the tank. Velocity or scraper Important Very high velocIty resuspension of settled particles (<5mm/sn) Travelling bridge with sludge suction headers and pumps not very good
  • 16. Weir channels are used. Large weir loading resuspension of particles settled near to effluent launders Effluent weirs placed as far from the inlet as possible To increase weir length (i.e to decrease weir loading) double-sided weirs can be used Typical weirs 90˚ V notch metal plates bolted onto the effluent collection through OUTLET ZONE
  • 17. May be placed at the opposite end of the rectangular basins through the entire width of tank through the length of the tank If the weir loading causes the required weir length to be greater than tank width the channel may be extended to a length of 1/3 the basin length (Reynolds) around the perimeter of center – feed circular tanks at the center of peripheral feed circular tanks
