Efficiency is nothing but the performance of the sedimentation tank. It is maximum when the maximum amount of suspended particles in the raw water are separated. In sedimentation tanks, efficiency purely depends upon the settling velocity and overflow velocity.
Efficiency of Sedimentation Tank (efficiency) = (Vs/Vo) x 100.
Vs = settling velocity of the particle.
Vo = overflow velocity.
Efficiency of Sedimentation Tank (efficiency) = (Vs/Vo) x 100.
Vs = settling velocity of the particle.
Vo = overflow velocity.

Sedimentation efficiency does not depend on the tank depth. If the forward velocity is low enough so that the settled material does not re-suspend from the tank floor, the area is still the main parameter when designing a settling basin or clarifier, taking care that the depth is not too low.

Effeciency doesnot depends upon depth of the sedimentation tank but it depends only upon surface area.
