Study of vortex settling basin

The main objective of the present investigation was to study the variation in sediment removal efficiency with the locations of the inlet and outlet channels and to develop a generalized model for predicting the removal efficiency of the vortex settling basin.In addition the available data from literature was also collected and used in the analysis.The available data have been re-analyzed for the purpose of developing a generalized fit of the statistical non-linear regression equation for the sediment removal efficiency which yielded the following equation which is recommended in order to predict the sediment removal efficiency of vortex settling basin.
