In water and wastewater treatment, sedimentation, or the removal by gravitational settling, of suspended particles heavier than water is perhaps the most widely useful operation. When the impurities are separated from the suspending fluid by the action of natural forces alone, i.e., by gravitation and natural aggregation of the settling particles, the operation is called plain sedimentation.  5, fiche 1, Anglais, - plain%20sedimentation
