Sedimentation tanks

This group contains all equipment types available in SuperPro Designer to host procedures whose main purpose is to carry out separations due to sedimentation processes. This type of separation is usually performed to remove oils and other particulate matter which flows together with the liquid but not dissolved in the liquid phase and is deposited in the sedimentation tanks and then easily removed. Such sedimenters are widely used in the sewage and wastewater treatment facilities. Finally the procedure hosted by these tanks can also include a hold operation in its list of actions.

The currently available sedimentation tanks are:

      Decanter Tank

      Clarifier

      Inclined Plate (IP) Clarifier

      Thickener

      Flotation Tank

      Oil Separator

The remainder of this section, is dedicated to the description of these equipment resources.
