Effluent is pumped from the sump to the top of the cone. A polymer flocculant is added (2) which causes fine particles to bind together and settle rapidly. Clear water overflows from the top of the cone (5) into a storage tank. The sludge at the bottom of the cone (which usually contains 30 - 35% solids) is pumped to a conditioning tank.
