Elutriation tanks are similar to thickeners, with the difference that a large volume of water is added to the sludge at the tank intake. In many cases, two tanks for the sludge to be elutriated and the washing water respectively are installed ahead of the elutriation tank on the feed line, so that the rate of dilution can be monitored easily. 1, record 3, English, - rate%20of%20dilution

The sodium alkalinity of the sodium hypochlorite precipitates the hardness of the dilution water in preparation tanks; it can result in the furring of pipes and feeding equipment. This can be remedied... by placing in the tank on the occasion of each filling approximately 50g of hexametaphosphate of sodium to 100 litres of water. 1, record 7, English, - furring
