Batch sedimentation If you let the particles settle to steady state. The height of the seam with clear cross section is constant. Continuous sedimentation tank design is a part of the precipitate is formed in a manner similar to that of the Batch. This will be calculated for continuous sedimentation tank design are find the cross-sectional area and height of the settling tank. Is found the cross-sectional area of the settling tank is proportional to the feed rate of the suspension.
