Sedimentation Tank – HydraNexis HNX 11
A CE-certified precision laboratory apparatus for engineering experimentation and technical education, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Water Treatment Technology laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
Product Overview
Sedimentation is a fundamental unit operation in water and wastewater treatment for removing suspended solids. The HydraNexis HNX 11 provides a controlled environment to study settling tank hydraulics, sediment removal, flow regimes, and dispersion effects. Feed water is supplied from the laboratory mains and measured using a flow meter. A slurry with known concentration is prepared in a sump tank and injected into the fresh water stream before entering the settling tank. Continuous stirring in the sump tank prevents solids from settling before entering the sedimentation tank. A dye injection system enables hydraulic tracer studies, allowing visualization of flow patterns, short-circuiting, and dead zones. The system supports comparative analysis using Imhoff cones or sedimentation research devices.Request Specifications & Pricing
