Aeration oxidizes organic matter and removes substances like iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and VOCs from water. It increases dissolved oxygen and is often the first major process in water treatment. There are two methods of aeration: passing water through air and passing air through water. Common aerator types include cascade, cone, and spray aerators. Sedimentation is the process where suspended materials settle by gravity in water. It follows coagulation and flocculation to remove floc created by chemicals. There are three main classes of particles that settle at different rates. Sedimentation basins come in rectangular, circular, and hopper-bottomed designs. The case study describes an
