Sedimentation tank for separating solids from liquids

摘要

A sedimentation tank (1) having a settling compartment (5) and a fine separation compartment (6) is provided with a partition (13) separating the compartments (5, 6), and ending above the bottom (12). The mutual distance (20) between the side walls (17, 19) of the settling compartment (5) and fine separation compartment (6) opposite the partition (13) decreases, at least in the bottom regions (14, 15) with increasing proximity to the bottom (12) of the sedimentation tank (1) in order to be able to withdraw the sediment sludge centrally from there. <IMAGE>
