The sludge concentration achieved in the thickener is independent of the feed concentration. However, the greater the feed volume, the larger the thickener required. There are several thickener designs in use; most are of the settlement type developed for industrial applications, which uses heavy duty scrapers with a picket fence attachment.
Gravity Thickening Method relying on gravity principle can be applied to both untreated primary and even waste activated sludge. It is normally done in a circular tank similar in design compared with a typical plant sedimentation tank.Flow of sludge coming from the aeration system is directed to the center well and the design is such that there is sufficient detention time

The quantity of primary and surplus sludge is reduced as a result of sludge thickening procedures and disposal costs are, therefore, lowered. Special stirring and scraping mechanisms reduce the water content of the sludge in the sludge thickening tank and enable a continuous removal of still pumpable, free-flowing sludge into a collection hopper.
