Sedimentation
the oldest form of water treatment
uses gravity to separate particles from
water
often follows coagulation and flocculation
Sedimentation: Effect of the particle
concentration
Dilute suspensions
◦ Particles act independently
Concentrated suspensions
◦ Particle-particle interactions are significant
◦ Particles may collide and stick together
(form flocs)
◦ Particle flocs may settle more quickly
◦ At very high concentrations particle-particle
forces may prevent further consolidation
Types of Settling
Four types of sedimentation:
Discrete settling (pengendapan partikel diskrit,
partikel mengendap secara individual dan tidak ada
interaksi antar-partikel)
Flocculant settling (pengendapan partikel
flokulen, terjadi interaksi antar-partikel sehingga ukuran
meningkat dan kecepatan pengendapan bertambah)
Hindered settling (pengendapan pada lumpur
biologis, dimana gaya antarpartikel saling
menahan partikel lainnya untuk mengendap)
Compression (terjadi pemampatan partikel yang
telah mengendap yang terjadi karena berat
partikel)

Applications
Stoke’s Law can be used to determine the
surface area of a settling tank
Set the critical velocity equal to the settling
velocity of the smallest particle
The overflow rate is equal to the flow rate
into the tank divided by the surface area
Setting the overflow rate equal to the critical
settling velocity allows time to capture
smallest particles of interest
Applications

A
OFR = over flow rate (m/s or ft/s )
vc = critical settling velocity (m/s or ft/s)
Q = the flow rate into the basin (m3/s or ft3/s)
A = the surface area of the basin (m2 or ft2)
