Abstract: Means are utilized to cause deposition of solids from a solution such as sewage. Tube clarifiers are then utilized to settle the solids by gravity whereupon the solids are urged to a sediment discharge by means of an auger thus leaving clarified liquid for separate discharge. The tube clarifier may include stationary or adjustable screens or baffles to trap the solids to assist in the settlement and/or the auger flight may be perforated for a similar reason.
