Definitions for "Clarifiers"
also known as settling tanks and sedimentation basins, are used to settle the large particles of debris that are not filtered through the screening devices. In a clarifier, coagulation and flocculation are used to remove the particles. The settling basins can be rectangular or circular. The parameters are the same for both rectangular and circular sedimentation basins.
A large tank or basin in which water is held during the water treatment process so that heavier suspended solids fall to the bottom.
Settling tanks that typically remove settleable solids by gravity.
Additive used in polypropylene random copolymers to improve clarity.
