Principle:
In the sedimentation area of the advection or vertical flow sedimentation tank, the use of inclined parallel tubes or parallel pipelines (sometimes using honeycomb packing) is divided into a series of shallow sedimentation layers, and the treated and settled sedimentation sludge in the shallow layers of the sedimentation of the mutual movement and separation.
Based on the direction of their mutual movement is divided into three different separation methods: reverse (opposite) flow, homogeneous flow and lateral flow. Every two parallel inclined plate between (or in parallel tube) is equivalent to a very shallow sedimentation tank.

Advantages:
①Utilizes the principle of laminar flow, which improves the processing capacity of the sedimentation tank;
②Shortens the settling distance of the particles, which shortens the settling time;
③Increases the settling area of the tank, which improves the processing efficiency.
This type of sedimentation tank overflow rate is 7-10 times higher than the general sedimentation tank capacity, is a new type of high-efficiency sedimentation equipment. And has been stereotyped for production practice.
