The pilot plant sedimentation tank will be a verticle flow style tank with a sludge blanket and plate settlers to ensure maximum removal. As with other AguaClara designs, the tank will be run by the elevation head in the flocculator tank and will not require electricity. There are several design restraints due to the current set up at the pilot plant. There are 37'' of available water head at the end of the floculator which are available for our use. The piping connection between the flocculator tank and sedimentation tank also cannot have a shear value that excedes the max shear in the last baffle section ( GMax= 48.826 /s), or else the flocs made in the last section will be broken up.
