SEDIMENTATION INTRODUCTION Sedimentation, or clarification, is the process of letting suspended material settle by gravity. Suspended material may be particles, such as clay or silts, originally present in the source water. More commonly, suspended material or floc is created from material in the water and the chemical used in coagulation or in other treatment processes, such as lime softening. INTRODUCTION Sedimentation is accomplished by decreasing the velocity of the water being treated to a pointbelow which the particles will no longer remain in suspension. When the velocity no longer
