SMART WATER ECOSYSTEM

Aeration: Sedimentation & Treatment

Sedimentation is the process of allowing particles in suspension in water to settle out of the suspension under the effect of gravity. The particles that settle out from the suspension become sediment, and in water treatment is known as sludge.

The advantage of sedimentation is that it minimizes the need for coagulation and flocculation. Typically, chemicals are needed for coagulation and flocculation, but improved sedimentation minimizes need for additional chemicals. Additionally, sedimentation can be used after coagulation to increase the effectiveness of ongoing filtration in the process.

SOLUTION BENEFITS

  • Scalable control & visualization
  • Process Optimization using Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Energy efficient Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
