A gravity thickener is shown in Figure 5.1 Figure 5.1 Example of a gravity thickener Continuous flow tanks are deep circular tanks with central feed and overflow at the periphery. Better efficiencies can be obtained by providing slow revolving stirrers, particularly with gassy sludge. It is necessary to ensure provisions for:
