• INTRODUCTION
Sedimentation is water treatment process, during which water has
Little or no movement, and suspended solids sink to the bottom under
The force of gravity and form a sediment, this process is called 
Sedimentation.

• PURPOSE OF SEDIMENTATION

• To remove coarse dispersed phase.


• To remove coagulated and flocculated impurities.
• To remove precipitated impurities after chemical treatment.
• To settle the sludge(biomass) after activated sludge 
 process/tricking filters.

5
• SEDIMENTSTION PRINCIPLE
• Suspended solid present in water having specific gravity greater than that
of water tend to settle down by gravity as soon as the turbulence is
retarded by offering storage. Inorganic suspended solid having specific
gravity of about 2.65;and Organic suspended solids having specific gravity
of about 1.04
• The particle having specific gravity of about 1.20 or so readily settle down
at the bottom of tank. But it is difficult to cause the settlement of lighter
particles.

6
 TYPES OF SEDIMENTATION
• Plain sedimentation: It is process of
settling down of solids and impurities
in the raw water to the bottom of
sedimentation basin by natural
gravity force alone, no chemical is
added.
• This method is very cheaper and
mostly used in all filtration and
purification system of water.
• Sedimentation by using clarifier and
contact: In this method chemicals
are mixed in water and that water is
rotated by help of pumps for period
of two hours per day, and suspended
solids are settled down in the bottom
of reservoir or tank etc.

7
• TYPES OF SEDIMENTATION
• Chemically Assisted sedimentation or clarification: this is process
in which chemicals are added to water and through mixing the
suspended solids and other impurities are stick together and form
floc, which settles to the bottom of basin.
• In general most used process is chemically assisted horizontal
sedimentation and following assumptions are based on.
• water generally flows through a tank as an irregular flow thus the
intention of sedimentation is to create condition in which the flow is
uniform as for long enough period, to permit the maximum practical
amount of floc to be settled before the water reaches at the end of
tank.

8
• PARAMETER INFLUENCING SEDIMENTATION
• Size, shape and weight of particles.
• Viscosity and temperature of water.
• Detention period of tank.
• Effective depth of tank.
• Area of tank.
• Surface over flow rate.
• Velocity of flow and outlet design.

9
• TYPES OF SEDIMENTATION
BASIN
• Sedimentation tank may function
either intermittent or continuously.
• The intermittent type tank are those
which  store water for a certain
period and keep it on completely
rest.
• In continuous type tank, the flow
velocity is only reduced and water is
not brought to complete rest.
• Sedimentation tank or basin may be
either circular or rectangular in plan.
• Long narrow rectangular tanks with
horizontal flow are generally
preferred to the circular tank of radial
or spiral flow.
10
• RECTANGULAR SEDIMENTATION TANK
• Rectangular basins are the simplest design, allowing water to flow horizontally
through a long tank This type of basin is usually found in large-scale water
treatment plants. 
• Rectangular basins have a variety of advantages such as predictability, cost-
effectiveness, and low maintenance. They are the least likely to short-circuit,
especially if the length is at least twice the width. The inlet and outlet arrangements
of rectangular basis are shown below. 
• A disadvantage of rectangular basins is the large extent of land area required.

11
• CIRCULAR SEDIMENTATION TANK
• Square and circuit sedimentation basins with horizontal flow are
often known as clarifiers.
• This type of basin faces short-circuiting problems
below Figure shows the inlet and out let arrangement.

• DESIGN DETAILS
• Detention period for plain sedimentation 2-4 hours and for
coagulated sedimentation 4-6 hours.
• Velocity of flow not greater than 30cm/min(horizontal flow).
• Tank dimensions: L:B=3 to 5:1. Generally L= 30 m (common)
maximum 100 m. Breadth= 6 m to 10 m. Circular: Diameter
not greater than 60 m. generally 20 to 40 m.
• Depth 2.5 to 5.0 m (3 m).
• Surface Overflow Rate: For plain sedimentation 12000 to
18000 L/d/m2 tank area; for thoroughly flocculated water
24000 to 30000 L/d/m2 tank area Slopes: Rectangular 1%
towards inlet and circular 89%.
• NUMERICAL

• Calculate the detention time for a rectangular sedimentation tank with the
following dimensions, length is 20m, width is 10m, depth is 4m, and the flow
rate is 0.5 m³ per sec.
   ANS
   detention time =         tank volume 
                                  incoming water flow  rate
   detention time = (20 X 10 X 4)
                                          0.5
   detention time =  800
                                    0.5
• detention time = 1600 seconds    
   detention time = 26.7 minutes
  
• Conclusion 
• Circular sedimentation tanks are preferred for
continuous vertical flow type sedimentation tanks.
• circular tanks are uneconomical as compared to
rectangular tanks but they have high clarification
efficiency.
• Through this study we also get to know that there
are some Advantages and Disadvantages as well
