High-rate thickeners that are built as dedicated machines are available in sizes up to 40 meter diameter but retrofits of conventional thickeners are often larger in size. When viewed from the outside high-rate thickeners look very much like conventional machines except that their tanks have a greater height to diameter ratio.

The object of a control system on a High Rate Thickener (HRT), as on a conventional thickener, is to obtain the required underflow density and overflow clarity at all feed conditions. The feed conditions, which may vary, include volumetric and mass feed rate, pulp density, particle size and particle type.

Sedimentation is the next step in conventional filtration plants. (Direct filtration plants omit this step.) The purpose of sedimentation is to enhance the filtration process by removing particulates. Sedimentation is the process by which suspended particles are removed from the water by means of gravity or separation.

Read MoreWastewater Clarifier Performance
The weir overflow rate (WOR) parameter is used to determine both the potential for short-circuiting in the clarifier and excessive velocities over the weir which would increase the quantity of solids carried out of the clarifier. The weir overflow rate is the number of gallons of wastewater that flow over one lineal foot of weir per day.

Figure 14.1 is a sketch of a bridge thickener where the bridge runs across the thickener tank. The bridge supports the rakes and the motor rotating the rakes sits on a platform in the centre of the tank. The rakes are bolted to the central column which is rotated by the motor. The bridge thickeners have a maximum diameter of about 30 metres.
