descantação
settling


Explanation:
A palavra original é "decantação", um processo de separação por efeito da gravidade, muito usado no tratamento de qualquer suspensão (água, esgotos, etc.). Para essa separação, utiliza-se um tanque, onde o líquido permanece em condições tranquilas de fluxo, permitindo que as partículas mais pesadas desçam ao fundo (settling tank). Alguns exemplos, no contexto de fabricação de açúcar:

sugar cane crusher, sugarcane production plant, sugar and jaggery ...
Ampro Exports - Indian exporters & suppliers of sugar cane crusher, ...
From there, juice is transferred to settling tank to separate mud & foreign matter ...

Mindex UK - Export Management Company - Sugar plant equipment
... contracts for the supply and implementation of Sugar Mills in Africa. ...
which is pumped into a settling tank that settles down the mud from the juice. ...
