World Leading Plate Clarifier Reliable, efficient sediment removal with up to 90% less footprint. Product Profile The Lamella® Separator is an economical and space-saving method of optimising sedimentation. Utilising highly compact settlers with very small foot-prints. Its success is due to a number of factors mainly the unique, patented flow control system, which represents a breakthrough in modern plate separator design and has contributed significantly to the excellent reliability and efficiency of the unit. Applications Effluent Treatment • Primary clarification of wastewater streams. • Pulp and paper industry. • Industrial water treatment systems. • Municipal water treatment systems. • Biological purification processes. • Wash water recirculation systems (eg. potato and root crop processing). • Wet scrubber and slaking effluents in the power industry. Space requirement can be reduced by up to 90% when compared with a settlement tank. Unique, patented flow control system increases reliability. Up to 10 m2 of settling area per square metre of ground area. Supplied as a complete unit for easy installation. Available in standard and site-specific versions. Minimal operating and maintenance costs. The operational reliability of the separator is increased by using the clarified liquid as the flow control medium, making the unit less sensitive to flow variations and reducing the risk of fouling. Allowing the feed to enter the plate assembly from the side rather than from underneath eliminates the risk of disturbing previously settled material. Drive for Scraper Potable Water Treatment • Raw intake water clarification. • Washwater recovery. Process Water Treatment • Thickening processes in the chemical, mining and mineral industries. • Treatment of effluents in metal finishing, and iron and steel plants. • Can be used to clarify the wash water from a DynaSand® Filter. • Primary clarification of raw process water. • Recirculation of wash water in potato and vegetable washing process. • Reduce turbidity in raw and process water. • Treatment of effluents in metal finishing and iron and steel plants. • Cooling Tower water solids. Discharge Channel Sludge Discharge Sludge Scraper

How it works 1) Effluent enters the unit through the inlet pipe (brown arrow) and flows downward through the inlet chamber in the centre of the unit, entering the plates through openings in the sides. 2) As the liquid flows upward the solids settle on the inclined, parallel plates and slide into the hopper at the bottom of the unit. In the hopper, the sludge is thickened prior to discharge through the sludge outlet (brown arrow). 3) The clarified liquid leaves the plate assembly through openings at the top and is discharged into collection channels leading to the clarified water outlet...
