In current plant designs, head loss through the entrance ports in the sedimentation tank is much greater than the head loss from flow through the plate settlers. Because head loss through the ports is much greater than head loss through the plate settlers, flow through each of the plate settlers in plants in Honduras is not equal. A geotextile foam was placed on top of the plate settler to create head loss to equalize the flow.
