Decantation

Effluent decantation

Decantation is one of the simplest and most effective methods for separating solid waste from liquids in effluents. This process is essential in effluent treatment, removing settleable solids and improving the quality of the treated water.

What is decantation?

Decanting consists of separating solid and liquid waste by sedimenting the heavy materials (solids) at the bottom of the container, which are then removed.

How decanting works:

Process:
- The solids settle at the bottom of the decanter, forming sludge.
- The effluent, free of solids, is collected on the surface of the decanter.

Benefits of decanting:

Simplicity

Simple and effective method for removing solids.

Efficiency

Improves the quality of the treated effluent, preparing it for subsequent stages of treatment.

Reduction of solids

Removes settleable solids, reducing the load of pollutants in the final effluent.

Common applications:

Industries

Treatment of industrial effluents containing suspended solids.

Counties

Used in sewage treatment plants to remove settleable solids.

Agriculture

Treatment of agricultural effluents with a high solids load.
