WATER CLARIFIERS

NPE clarifiers manage the settlement of solids from dewatering and wastewater effluent. Clarifier requirements depend on the flow rate, water quality analysis, and the amount of suspended solids or dissolved particles in the influent.

Here’s how the Lamella Plate Clarifier works:

• Water pumps through the inlet pipe and travels upward over inclined plates.

• If needed, operators add flocculent and polymer using a slow-release block or separate dosing equipment. This depends on the influent water quality.

• Particles settle inside the clarifier and slide down into the sludge funnel.

• Operators remove accumulated particles from the clarifier bottom as required.

• Flocculated particles continue to settle, allowing clear water to flow upwards over the inclined plates and exit into the outlet chamber.

The clarifier speeds up and controls the settlement of solids from wastewater and dewatering effluent. It effectively removes most suspended and precipitated solids before further filtration. When managed properly, it can reduce turbidity enough to allow discharge into waterways, provided pH and turbidity meet regulatory criteria.
