Sedimentation Tanks

1)  Ensure  that the rate of flow in the  tank is correctly maintained. 
2)  See that the tank is cleaned at proper  intervals by scrubbing and/or hydraulic flushing. 
3)  Where  coagulation is done ensure that:

  • the correct dosage of chemical is used - weighing equipment for this purpose should be properly maintained; 
  • adequate storage arrangements for coagulants are made eg bags of aluminium sulphate and ferrous sulphate being hygroscopic should be stored in wooden  bins. Ferric chloride, being corrosive should be stored inside rubber  lined bags; 
  • adequate reserve of coagulants are kept; 
  • the operating staff are provided  with suitable protection against hazards due to storage, conveyance, feeding or handling of chemicals.
