Clarification / Sedimentation

In recent years, many optimizations have been introduced to enhance the performance of sedimentation systems, some of which have been successful, and some not. With the increased use of membrane separation, many people believe that the sedimentation tank has had its day, but Ovivo believe that it will remain a key option for designers of water and wastewater treatment systems.

As a consequence of the perceived simplicity of the sedimentation tank, many sedimentation units are purchased and installed that are less than optimal. At Ovivo, our experts will evaluate a client’s requirements in order to design an optimized solution to match the identified need.

Convenient, economical service is a priority for Ovivo, and we are proud of our reputation for delivering drives that are economical and simple to maintain.

Our sedimentation drives are designed and built for long service, and in strict compliance with applicable standards. Each component within every one of our drives is engineered to exceed the requirements for 20 years’ continuous duty, and it is widely recognized that just routine maintenance has enabled many of our drives to still be operational after 30 or 40 years of continuous service – with their original gears and bearings.

Ovivo have the experience and the knowledge to offer optimal design solutions - we are serious about sedimentation. Our heritage brands represent the largest installed base of sedimentation tanks across the world, featuring rectangular and circular shaped tanks centre and peripheral drive designs.
