Lamella Inclined Plate Clarifier
The Graver Lamella design utilizes inclined plate clarification to separate solids from the water and clarify the water. The lamella is composed of a series of removable parallel plates commonly referred to as “lamella plates”. Stacking the inclined plates results in a separator having up to ten times the clarification area of a conventional circular settling tank occupying the same floor space. To put it another way, it does the separator job in 1/10 the space.
Graver’s design assures laminar flow conditions that result in hydraulic uniformity and high effluent quality. The compact footprint results in a great reduction in the space needed for clarification equipment and can be installed indoors if desired, or be easily relocated at a later date.
Typical Applications
-
- Fly Ash Waste
- Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Waste
- Clarification
- Solids Recovery
- Cooling Tower Blowdown
- Iron Removal
- Municipal Water Treatment
- Semiconductor Process Waste
- Whitewater (Pulp & Paper)
- Groundwater Remediation
- Potable Water Clarification
- Landfill Leachate
- Boiler Waste Treatment
-
- Heavy Metals Removal
- Filter Press Belt Wash
- Battery Plant Heavy Metals Removal
- Hazardous Waste Remediation
- Brine Clarification
- Plating and Finishing Wastes
- Food & Beverage Waste
- Trace Metals Reduction
- Storm Water Management
- Bleach Plant Wash Water
- Incinerator Wet Scrubber
- Potable Water Pretreatment
How It Works
- Lamella sedimentation separates solids from a carrying liquid by directing the material between a series of inclined plates (sometimes referred to as lamellae).
- The plates, arranged in close proximity, divide the lamella tank into several integral sections or chambers. Only one side of each chamber, the top surface of a plate, provides a settling surface.
- The pretreated feed stream enters the lamella tank and transverses through feed ducts longitudinally, along each side of the lamella plates, through a bottomless distribution duct.
- The liquid and solids feed stream then enters each plate chamber near the bottom section of the plates and flows upward between them.
- As the feed stream moves upward, solids settle downward by descending a short distance onto the surface area provided by the plates.
- Solids continue to slide down the plate surfaces to a collection hopper.
