Abstract
The solids flux theory of thickening has traditionally been used for s edimentation basin design in the activated sludge process. However, it s use for analysis of decanter behaviour in operating plants has been overlooked due to the extensive data requirements and complex graphic analysis. This paper presents a single method to obtain the equations which describe stream concentrations of supernatant and settling as a function of input concentration, implied flow rates, and physical char acteristics of the plant.
