EN The paper shows the effect of volumetric flow rate of liquid and diameters of solid particles in the sedimentation tank for the water contaminated with sediment and oil substances on the effectiveness of the tank. The effect of liquid flow rate on liquid damming has been studied. It has been shown that the liquid damming in the tank increases with increasing a volumetric flow rate of liquid at the inlet. The determined value of the loss coefficient is 3.06. The effectiveness of sedimentation tank for heavy fraction increases with the diameter of solid particles. It has been shown that an increase in the liquid flow rate reduces the effectiveness of the tank, both for the heavy and the light fractions. The vortex sedimentation tank of the proposed construction allows for the simultaneous removal of the heavy and light fractions from water and their partial separation.
