Volume • Many other applications – contact us to discuss Power usage maximum 600 watts @ 240 v Clarifier Detention 1.5 – 2 Hours Time Why use an incline lamella clarifier over standard Length 3600mm – (With Final Collection Tank fitted 4600mm ) ? Height 2800mm - (With Mixers 3200mm) Incline Tube settler clarifiers use multiple tubular Width 1300mm channels sloped at an angle of 60° and adjacent to each Dry Weight Approx 925kg other, which combine to form an increased effective Approx 6,400kgs - (With Final Collection tank up to Operational Weight settling area. This provides for a particle settling depth 7,300 kgs) that is significantly less than the settling depth of a conventional clarifier, reducing settling times. Tube settlers capture the settling fine Floc that escapes the clarification zone beneath the tube settlers and allows the larger Floc to travel to the tank bottom in a more solid form.

Why Tube Settlers? Tube settlers allow this clarifier to produce output consistently less than 10 NTU, (Subject to flocculants applied) they can also reduce the tank / footprint required in new installations and reduces the solids loading on downstream filters.

Advantages of Tube Settlers Clarifiers equipped with tube settlers can operate at 2 to 4 times the normal rate of standard clarifiers without tube settlers. It is possible to cut coagulant dosage by up to half while maintaining a lower influent turbidity to the treatment plant filters (If used). Less filter backwashing equates to significant operating cost savings for both water and electricity.

FD1500 INCLINE LAMELLA CLARIFIER (1500LPH) Process Description Waste flow from the facility is collected and sent to the influent balance tank, At times through an oil separator (not included). During times of high flow or equipment maintenance, this tank provides flow equalisation and normalisation. This tank is continuously recirculated via a circulation pump to ensure that the correct pH levels are at the required design set point prior to entry to the first stage. This also allows for high pH adjustment required at times were heavy metal reductions are required

The pH corrected waste water is transferred to the first reaction chamber of the FD1500 via a small transfer pump. The first stage reaction chamber is designed as a first stage reaction chamber designed as a stirred tank reactor, it is utilised for flocculation of the solid precipitates, using a low-shear mixer. once mixed the influent gravity flows into the second stage reaction chamber of the FD1500. (Optional mixer is used in special applications for different flocculants)

The precipitate from the flocculation chamber flows by gravity into the settling zone chamber. The settling zone chamber is designed as a down flow then up-flow inclined tube style clarifier, which allows gravity settling of the precipitate. The incline chamber is fitted with hexagonal inclined tube modules that provide the settling surface area required and create the laminar flow environment necessary for effective clarification. The precipitate enters the clarifier and settles to the chamber bottom where it is automatically drained via a automated sludge dump valve to a holding tank (by others)

The precipitate-free effluent emerges from the top of the clarifier after rising through the tube packs over a set of weirs and flows by gravity to through a visual site flow meter then through to a cleanable bag filter.

Effluent from the bag filter is fed into a final tank (optional) and either pumped, via a centrifugal transfer pump (optional) to the next stage of treatment if it is to be used for recycling or directly to sewer, depends upon relevant authority requirements

An optional final pH, turbidity or conductivity online analyser can be used to measure and record the effluent water quality in the final tank
