Abstract
Sedimentation is a separation technology alternative to filtration for liquid-solid separation. By taking advantage of different inertial behavior the centrifugal field allows for the solid deposition on the sedimenter wall and for a continuous clarified liquid removal. A multi-layered configuration, within the feasibility limits, enhances the separation effectiveness as shown in the design problem.
