<p>An effluent water treatment assembly further processes pre-treated water containing suspended solids or biological sludge. The assembly is an upright (V) columnar vessel (1) inclined (A) to one side, having an inlet (2), an outlet (3) and internal collector surfaces (4). The vessel (1) has especially a circular or oval cross-section. <??>The lower part of the vessel terminates in a converging conical section. The water inlet (2) is positioned parallel to and along the centreline (A) and discharges via a centreline pipe (5) with outlets to the collector surfaces (4). The flow of water through the vessel is regulated by a valve (8) and spindle (9). The vessel has a sludge detector linked to the valve and signals when a given quantity of sludge has accumulated. The collector surfaces consist of a battery of circular, oval or square tubes (11) parallel to the main axis (A). The tubes (11) are made of a flexible material e.g. steel, plastic, glass fibre etc. <??>The angle of inclination is preferably 35-55 degrees from the vertical.</p> |
