Clarifiers
Clarifiers
Overview
Clarifiers use gravity to settle suspended solids after coagulation and flocculation. Sludge is collected at the bottom, and clarified water flows out from the top. They can be circular, rectangular, or lamella-type depending on space and flow requirements
Benefits
- Removes large solids and flocs
- Reduces turbidity and TSS
- Protects downstream filters and membranes
Applications
- Surface water treatment plants
- Effluent and wastewater treatment
- Industrial clarifying systems
