Why Rectangular Clarifiers are Great Candidates for Optimization
Top 3 reasons rectangular basins are ideal for optimization.
Rectangular basins are not built with flocculation volume - this limits the conversion of non-settleable solids to a settleable form (building a circular clarifier without a floc well is never done).
Flows can be corrected in multiple locations along the axis of the tank.
The inlet hopper and sludge blanket are often vulnerable to shearing force.
