ABSTRACT:
A system for settling solids or other impurities from water or wastewater. The system includes a containment vessel for containing fluid. The containment vessel has an inlet for receiving an influent and an outlet through which an effluent is discharged. At least a first group of tube settlers is disposed in the containment vessel. The first group of tube settlers has a top, a bottom and a plurality of tubes for receiving influent and discharging effluent. A distribution channel is provided for distributing influent evenly through the first group of tube settlers to enhance the settling of solids and other impurities from water or wastewater.
