Inclined Tube Settler | Lamella Clarifier for Wastewater Treatment

Working Principle It adopts the shallow tank sedimentation theory. A set of inclined honeycomb tubes is installed inside the sedimentation zone. Water flows upward from the bottom of inclined tubes. Solid particles in water settle and stick to the inner wall of inclined tubes. Once particles accumulate to certain weight, they slide down along the tubes into the bottom sludge hopper. Sludge is discharged periodically through sludge pipelines. Clarified clean water rises further and is collected by upper outlet weirs. Inclined tubes shorten particle settling distance and multiply the effective settling area within the same footprint. Compared with conventional horizontal flow sedimentation tanks, it features faster settling speed and smaller floor space. Application Fields Municipal wastewater treatment: Solid-liquid separation after biochemical treatment to reduce effluent suspended solids Industrial wastewater treatment: Pretreatment for printing & dyeing, chemical, electroplating and food wastewater Tap water purification: Coagulation and sedimentation of raw water to remove sediment and colloidal suspended matter Reclaimed water reuse system: Pretreatment unit to protect subsequent filter and membrane equipment Mining & mineral processing wastewater: Removal of mineral slag suspended solids River & lake emergency remediation: Water coagulation sedimentation to quickly reduce turbidity
