sedimentation tank

A sedimentation tank is a large container used in water treatment processes to remove solid particles from liquids. When dirty water flows into the tank, the solids settle at the bottom due to gravity, forming sludge, while cleaner water rises to the top. This process helps improve water quality by separating impurities before further treatment or discharge. Sedimentation tanks are commonly used in wastewater treatment plants and in the treatment of drinking water, playing a crucial role in ensuring that the water is safe and clean for various uses.
