As a rule of thumb, in conventional thickeners, the interface level should be kept between 0.5 to 1.0 m below the surface. On the other hand, the mud level should be kept between 2.0 to 3.0 m over the thickener bottom. Figure 4. Thickener settling layers. An example of a suitable control strategy is presented in figure 5.

The technique is used in the same way in both industrial and municipal settings. A gravity belt thickener employs 'gravity drainage', i.e. dilute sludge (typically 0.5% to 1.0%), which is introduced at the feed-end of a horizontal filter belt. As the slurry makes its way down the moving belt, any free water drains through the porous belt.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a technique used for the separation of solid particles, liquids and sludge separation/thickening. In this process, the sludge rises at a much higher velocity than gravity sedimentation. This sludge, already thickened, is collected on the surface of the float by means of a scraper system.

By increasing the percent solids the sludge becomes thicker. It's getting thicker because the water is being removed. Similar to the sedimentation process gravity thickeners rely on the heavy solids in the sludge to settle by gravity to the bottom of the thickener. As the solids settle the water will be separated out.
