Abstract:

The examined sedimentation tank is operating at a large industrial plant as the first phase of industrial water treatment. After several years of operation some problems were emerged like not planned sedimentation and capacity limits. CFD computations were executed in order to analyse the hydraulic flow conditions. Particle tracking simulations proofed the anticipated source of problems. Recommendations could be formulated based on the CFD simulations with different loads.
