Lec 14

The document discusses four types of settling and sedimentation equipment: 1) simple gravity settling tanks, 2) classifiers that subdivide large tanks into sections, 3) Spitzkasten classifiers consisting of conical vessels of increasing diameter, and 4) thickeners where the settling zone area is calculated based on the volumetric sedimentation rate of solids.
