What is Sedimentation?

We are all familiar with water purification, but what about sedimentation?

Water purification is an essential process that most of us are acquainted with, but there is specific methods within the field that may not be as well-known. A method that plays a disicive role in several purification processes, is sedimentation. By using sedimentation particles and rocks present in liquids such as water or similar substances, can be separated to enhance the quality of the liquid. This process is particularly vital in managing stormwater or sludge, where the removal of solid particles is a prerequisite before the fluid mass is transported further in the purification chain.

The operating principle of a sediment separator is simple, but brilliant as it utilizes the natural force of movement in the liquid to be cleansed. When the current decreases, the heavier particles sink to the bottom due to natural gravity, while the purified liquid continues to path to the next step in the purification process. The particles accumulated at the bottom are then handled through a separate process. There, the transport screws play a vital role in streamlining the task of moving both separated particles and purified liquid.
