CONTINUOUS BLOWDOWN
The uninterrupted removal of concentrated boiler water from a boiler to control total solids concentration in the remaining water.

CLARIFICATION
The process used to reduce the amount of suspended solids in water.

CENTRIFUGAL SETTLER

CLARITY
Measure of the amount of opaque suspended solids in a liquid, determined by visual or optical methods.

DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION
A liquidsolid separation process wherein the main mechanism of suspended-solids removal is the change of apparent specific gravity of those suspended solids in relation to that of the suspending liquid by the attachment of small gas bubbles formed by the release of dissolved gas to the solids. Also known as air flotation.
