6 SETTLING TESTS - Experimental Methods
concentrations of the incoming sludge are typically in the range for hindered settling, and sludge thickening inside the sludge blanket is governed by compressive settling. In contrast to this, a specific characteristic of the granular sludge technology is the granules’ low tendency to coagulate under reduced hydrodynamic shear (de Kreuk

Troubleshooting Activated Sludge Processes Introduction
www.maine.govIn this situation, the sludge blanket in the clarifier actually rises close enough to the surface so that it washes over the effluent weir. To learn the reason for the clarifier-blanket washout, the first thing to do is to look at the sludge settleability. If the problem is not a blanket wash-out, it is individualparticle washout.
