How Sedimentation Water Treatment Works and How to Make it Efficient

Sedimentation is the separation of suspended solids from a liquid by gravity. As solids and particles fall out of liquid suspension and settle, they become sediment. This process, often referenced as settling, is regularly used in water and wastewater [...]
