The rectangular tank has the disadvantage of requiring submerged gears and chains, and these need more maintenance. It has often been suggested however that the rectangular tank has superior settling characteristics for similar overflow rates. It also has the advantage of allowing for common walls between adjacent tanks and for requiring less land area. 1, record 1, English, - rectangular%20tank

Les décanteurs rectangulaires présentent l'avantage de permettre une implantation plus ramassée des différentes unités de traitement, mais leur coût est généralement plus élevé. (...) Le système de raclage peut être entrainé soit par un pont enjambant le bassin et se déplaçant d'un bout à l'autre du décanteur soit par des chaînes sans fin immergées. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9canteur%20rectangulaire
