A High Rate Sedimentation (HRS) process that uses upward flow and less area than traditional tanks was investigated. The objective was to analyze parameters affecting HRS tank performance including velocity, density of the floc blanket and location of plate settlers in a laboratory scale HRS tank. Different velocities were set during the experiment, and the resulting performance of the floc blanket was evaluated through continuous turbidity measurements. Results demonstrated that the lab-scale tank allows the creation of a floc blanket and is a versatile design with constraints of visibility and accessibility. In addition, performance of the sedimentation tank improves at lower up flow velocities; however, the study suggests that plate settlers at the top of the tank stabilized the floc blanket at higher velocities, as a consequence of denser floc blankets created by the plates.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN El programa AguaClara de la Universidad de Cornell ha investigado formas de mejorar el proceso de tratamiento de aguas a bajo costo y sin depender de fuentes energía adicionales. En este proyecto fue investigado un proceso basado en la Sedimentación de Alta Tasa (HRS, por sus siglas en inglés), el cual presenta un flujo vertical y menor área con respecto a tanques tradicionales. El objetivo consiste en analizar los parámetros que pueden afectar el desempeño del tanque HRS incluyendo velocidad, densidad del manto de flóculos y ubicación de las láminas de sedimentación en un modelo de tanque de sedimentación de alta tasa a escala de laboratorio. Diferentes velocidades fueron evaluadas y el desempeño del manto de flóculos fue estudiado a través de mediciones continuas de turbidez del agua. Los resultados demostraron que el tanque de alta tasa permite la generación del manto de flóculos y, cuenta con un diseño versátil y accesible. Adicionalmente, el desempeño del tanque de sedimentación mejora a bajas velocidades; sin embargo, este estudio sugiere que el uso de láminas de sedimentación en la parte superior del tanque permite estabilizar el manto de flóculos a velocidades mayores, debido a la función desempeñada en la formación de flóculos más densos.]]></p></abstract>
