PRATP series. The bridge is installed on a circular basin with flat base and tower. It is used in those cases where suspended particles in sewage need to be separated and removed by gravity.
The water and sludge mixture from the central tower is diverted by a baffle cylinder to let the sediment solids settle at the bottom. Scraper blades gather the precipitated sludge which then flow through intake pipes to a collection tub at the centre of the tank. The sludge are extracted from the tub with a siphon primed by a blower at a rate based on the amount of sludge involved. The clarified water flows in the channel around the top perimeter of the tank. Any floating materials are trapped by a blade in the spillway and taken to a collection and discharge tub.
