When the buoyancy
forces are not important, a reflection baffle may improve the tank
performance, while for the cases with strong buoyancy forces and
density currents baffle must be placed at the bottom of the tank. In
this case, locating the baffle in the range of 0.15
x/L
0.4 improves
the overall efficiency.
The Reynolds number is easily controlled by monitoring the
volumetric flow rate that passes through the clarifier. It is proposed
that in designing process, the volumetric flow rate
