Hydro International Solids Setting Clarification System with Inclined Parallel Plates



Lamella Clarifier - how the system operates
The wastewater with suspended solids enters the preconditioning chamber of the Hydro Solids Settling Clarification System where the incoming velocity of the material is reduced and the influent is distributed across the width of the unit. The flow is then diverted in a downward direction where heavy suspended solids settle into the sludge compartment.
The flow continues in an upward motion through the parallel plates where suspended solids settle within a short distance and come to rest on the inclined plates. The solids build up on the surface of the parallel plates and then slide down the surface of the plates while the clarified water rises upward as the solids fall. Settled solids become larger due to an agglomeration effect and settle in the sludge thickening compartment.
A slow speed auger located in the clarifier bottom continuously conditions the settled sludge. The auger also conveys the sludge to the solid discharge outlet. The clarified water continuously rises and overflows a v-notched weir and then flows to the discharge outlet.
