Clarifier

The formerly patented and proven slurry feed system can enable substantially smaller diameters than conventional systems

The high rate clarifier for solid / liquid separation efficiently and effectively utilises the pretreatment of sludge with flocculants. With a defined horizontal velocity, the pretreated slurry is fed into an active sludge bed. The sludge bed acts as a filter layer and retains suspended solids. This procedure ensures extraordinarily good clarification, meaning that only a very small quantity of solids reach the overflow. Since the particles to be separated are added near the underflow discharge in the clarifier, only a short sedimentation distance is required. The solids thicken faster and a higher thickening factor in the underflow is achieved.

 

Advantages

• Quick separation, therefore considerably higher specific capacity
• The high specific capacity enables smaller clarifier diameter. This advantage is of particular importance in indoor applications
• Very clear overflow at high specific capacity
• Diameter of 0.5 to 30 m
• Lifting device optional, if necessary
• Flocculent dosing station, pumps etc. can be included in the offer
• Steel, steel/ rubber lined, plastic (PP / FRP) models

 

Areas of use

• Chemical industry
• Environmental e.g. after scrubbers for air purification
• FGD systems
• Metallurgical industry
• Soil, sand, gypsum, lime treatment
