Unified Analysis of Thickening

Abstract
Zone settling data can generally be linearized with solids concentration when the logarithm of the settling velocity is plotted as a function of either the concentration or the logarithm of the concentration. The resulting mathematical expressions were used to develop two generalized dimensionless solutions that describe the steady‐state performance of thickeners. Graphical solutions of these models were also developed. These solutions could be used for controlling the performance of a thickener operating under transient conditions.
