Model Sedimentation Tank Vocational Training Equipment
....
For hydraulic tracer and visualization studies, an accurate dye injection system is provided. A known volume of dye solution is injected just before the entry to the settling tank.
Water is taken from the laboratory mains supply and is fed to the settling tank via a flow meter. For studies of sedimentation, a slurry is prepared in a sump tank and pumped via a specially designed flow meter to join the fresh water stream just before entry to the settling tank.
This may be comparatively analyzed by the Imhoff cone technique or more accurately by drying and weighing.The sump tank is continually agitated by a flow sparge device to prevent settling of solids during an experiment. A well-mixed slurry of known concentration and flow enters the tank uniformly under an inlet weir.
