I. Treatment Principles
1. Gravity-Based Sedimentation
After pretreatment, wastewater enters the sedimentation tank, where
it naturally settles under the influence of gravity, leveraging the
density difference between suspended particles and water. For
example, horizontal flow sedimentation tanks achieve efficient
solid-liquid separation by slowing the water velocity (0.5-1.5
mm/s) to prolong particle retention time. Vertical flow
sedimentation tanks utilize a central inlet pipe and
umbrella-shaped baffles to evenly distribute water, combined with a
vertical flow pattern (rising velocity 0.5-0.7 mm/s) to accelerate
sedimentation.
2. Cyclone Centrifugal Enhanced Separation
Cyclone grit chambers use tangential inlet flow to create a
rotating flow. Centrifugal force propels heavy particles, such as
sand, toward the tank walls, where they settle, while organic
matter is discharged with the flow. This process can achieve a sand
removal rate exceeding 90%, making it suitable for treating
wastewater with high sand content. 3. Inclined Tube/Inclined Plate
Efficiency Enhancement Design
Cellular inclined tube or inclined plate sedimentation tanks
significantly improve sedimentation efficiency by increasing the
sedimentation area and shortening the sedimentation path (e.g., a
60° inclined tube angle and a length of 1-3 meters). For example,
inclined tube sedimentation tanks can achieve a surface load 3-5
times that of conventional tanks, making them suitable for sites
with limited land.
II. Technical Parameter Examples
| Equipment Types | Typical Parameters: | Applications |
| Horizontal Flow Sedimentation Tank | Retention time 1-3 hours, surface load 1-3 m³/(m²·h) | Primary treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater |
| Vertical Flow Grit Chamber | Diameter 2-10 m, effective water depth 4-6 m | Pretreatment of small and medium-flow sand-laden wastewater |
| Swirl Grit Chamber | Processing capacity 50-500 m³/h, sand removal rate ≥ 90% | Highly turbid wastewater (such as construction wastewater and river dredging water) |
I. Pretreatment Unit
1. Screening screens intercept large suspended solids (such as
plastics and hair) in wastewater, typically with a clearance of
5-20 mm to prevent clogging of subsequent equipment.
2. Grit Chamber (Swirl Grit Chamber): Tangential water inflow
creates a rotating flow, using centrifugal force to fling sand
toward the tank walls and deposit it in a sand hopper. Equipped
with a turbine drive to accelerate separation, the grit removal
rate can reach over 90%.
Vertical Flow Grit Chamber: Designed with vertical water flow,
sand settles naturally under gravity, making it suitable for
pretreatment of small to medium-volume sand-laden wastewater.
II. Sedimentation Unit
1. Horizontal Flow Sedimentation Tank: This rectangular tank
features a perforated wall at the front inlet for uniform water
distribution, and an overflow weir at the rear to discharge clear
water. Sludge at the bottom is collected by a scraper and
transferred to a sludge hopper for a retention time of 1-3 hours,
with a surface load of 1-3 m³/(m²·h). 2. Radial Flow Sedimentation
Tank: This circular tank features wastewater flowing from a central
inlet pipe and radially sludge is scraped by rotating scrapers to a
central hopper. It is suitable for large-scale wastewater
treatment.
3. Inclined Tube/Plate Sedimentation Tank: Honeycomb inclined tubes
or plates shorten the settling path and can achieve a surface load
3-5 times that of conventional sedimentation tanks (e.g., 35
m³/(m²·h)), significantly improving suspended solids removal
efficiency.
III. Sludge Treatment Unit
1. Sludge Hopper and Sludge Discharge System: The conical sludge
hopper collects settled sludge and discharges it via an air lift or
sludge pump. Some systems incorporate a sludge thickening module to
reduce sludge volume.
2. Sludge Return/Discharge: Depending on process requirements,
sludge can be returned to the biochemical treatment unit or
transported for external disposal, ensuring continuous system
operation.
IV. Ancillary Equipment
1. Intelligent Control System: Monitors parameters such as
suspended solids concentration (SS) and turbidity, automatically
adjusting sludge discharge frequency and equipment operating
status, reducing manual intervention. 2. Flushing and maintenance
facilities A spray device is installed on the inner wall of the
tank to regularly remove sediment; ladders and sight glasses
facilitate equipment maintenance and observation.
