HRS - Floc Blanket

HRS - Plate Settlers

High Rate Sedimentation

• Can the upflow velocity in the AguaClara sedimentation tank be significantly (factor of 2 to 10)  increased without degrading performance?

• Can sloped plates or tubes help to stabilize a floc blanket at high upflow velocities?

• Can flocs be transported to a floc hopper when there are high upflow velocities in the sedimentation tank?

• What geometry is required for this new high rate sedimentation tank?

• How do the plate settlers with a capture velocity of 1 mm/s connect to the plate settlers with a capture velocity of 0.12 mm/s?
