ABSTRACT:
A sedimentation process for the collection and removal of solid particles from a liquid includes a basin provided with a plurality of planar baffles or settler members each having opposite ends attached to support rods, with the latter obviating the need for any beams or the like, to support the lower edges of the settler members. Manipulation of an adjustment mechanism permits simultaneous alteration of the inclination of all of the settler members without halting operation of the process. Influent is directed into the basin through a plurality of ports spaced longitudinally of one side wall thereof to more evenly distribute the influent throughout the bottom expanse of the settler members. Preferably, the settler members comprise stretchable membranes with the support rods including a shiftable, lockable mechanism permitting quick installation and variation of the tension as applied to the settler members.
