Sedimentation Tanks
Wastewater tanks in which floating wastes are skimmed off and settled solids are removed for disposal.

Sedimentation: The deposition of sediment from a state of suspension in water or air.
Sediments: Soil, sand, and minerals washed from land into water, usually after rain.
Sedimentation: The removal, transport, and deposition of detached soil particles by flowing water or wind. Also, the process of solid particles settling out of water and wastewater treatment processes.
Sedimentation
Water exiting the flocculation basin enters the sedimentation basin, also called a clarifier. It is a large tank with slow flow, allowing floc to settle to the bottom.
Sedimentation: Letting solids settle out of wastewater by gravity during treatment.
Sedimentation Tanks: Wastewater tanks in which floating wastes are skimmed off and settled solids are removed for disposal.
Sedimentation
The settling of solids in a body of water using gravity.
Settle ...
sedimentation A water treatment process in which solid particles settle out of the water being treated in a large clarifier or sedimentation basin.
sedimentation
the deposition of suspended matter carried by water, wastewater, or other liquids, by gravity. It is usually accomplished by reducing the velocity of the liquid below the point at which it can transport the suspended material.
Sedimentation
Settling of solid particles in a liquid system due to gravity.
Sediments ...
Sedimentation The gravity settling, and thus removal, of materials more dense than the suspending fluid.
Sedimentation basin. See clarifier.
Sedimentation basin overflow weir.
Law of Mass Action
The value of the equilibrium constant expression is a constant for a particular reaction at a given temperature, ...
In sedimentation analysis, the diameter assigned to a nonspherical particle. It is numerically equal to the diameter of a spherical particle having the same density and velocity of fall.

Term example: sedimentation
Definition: Deposition of material of varying size, both mineral and organic, away from its site of origin by the action of water, wind, gravity or ice.

Sedimentation The deposition of rock fragments suspended in water on to the floor of an ocean, sea, lake or river flood plain caused by natural processes or exacerbated by human practices.
This practice has had a profound effect on global environmental problems (air pollution, global warming), soil erosion, desertification, sedimentation of water courses, alteration of climate and hydrological cycles, ...
Primary Waste Treatment: First steps in wastewater treatment; screens and sedimentation tanks are used to remove most materials that float or will settle.
Note 1: Owing to their size, these particles (usually less than 100 µm and greater than 0.01 µm in diameter) have a comparatively small sedimentation velocity and hence exhibit some degree of stability in the earth’ ...
laundering weir : Sedimentation basin overflow weir. A plate with V-notches along the top to assure a uniform flow rate and avoid short-circuiting.
Primary treated water. First major treatment in a wastewater treatment facility, usually sedimentation but not biological oxidation.
Clear Cut
Harvesting all the trees in one area at one time, a practice that destroys vital habitat and biodiversity and encourages rainfall or snowmelt runoff, erosion, sedimentation of streams and lakes, and flooding. ...
A method of treating water which consists of the addition of coagulant chemicals, flash mixing, coagulation, minimal flocculation, and filtration. Sedimentation is not used.
Direct Runoff ...
