Sedimentation
Sedimentation is the process that allows the different particles which are in the suspended form in water to settle under the gravitational effect. The particles which settle out from the suspension become the sediment, while in water treatment this is known as sludge. When this thick sediment continues to settle, this is called consolidation.

The purpose of sedimentation is to enhance the filtration process by removing particulates. Sedimentation is the process by which suspended particles are removed from the water by means of gravity or separation. In the sedimentation process, the water passes through a relatively quiet and still basin. In these conditions, the floc particles ...
