Clarifier System with Inclined Plate Settler is a sedimentation technology used to help separate suspended solids from water and wastewater by utilizing an arrangement of inclined plates.
Compared to conventional sedimentation systems without plate settlers, the use of inclined plates increases the effective sedimentation area without requiring a large footprint. Therefore, this system is suitable for water and wastewater treatment projects that require efficient solids separation within limited space.
Hydromaster provides a Clarifier System with Inclined Plate Settler as part of its water and wastewater treatment solutions for industrial, commercial, and municipal needs.
How Does an Inclined Plate Clarifier Work?
Water is passed through a clarifier unit so that solid particles can settle with the help of gravity.
The angled plates increase the effective sedimentation area in a more compact space. Settled particles move to the bottom of the unit and collect as sludge, while the clarified water is passed on to the next treatment process.
This configuration helps improve the sedimentation process while reducing area requirements compared to sedimentation systems without inclined plate settlers.
Advantages of Clarifier with Inclined Plate Settler
Smaller Footprint
Inclined plates help increase the effective sedimentation area so that land requirements can be reduced compared to conventional sedimentation systems.
More Efficient Sedimentation Process
The inclined plate arrangement helps shorten the particle settling distance and improves the process of separating solids from water.
Suitable for Water and Wastewater Treatment
The system can be used as part of a Water Treatment Plant or Wastewater Treatment Plant according to water characteristics and process needs.
Easy to Integrate
Clarifiers can be part of a more complete processing system with Multi Media Filters, Ultra Filtration, Reverse Osmosis, DAF, or biological systems.
Design Based on Project Needs
System configuration can be adjusted to the flow rate, water quality, solids load, target quality results, and installation area conditions.
Clarifier System Application
Clarifier with Inclined Plate Settler can be used for various water and wastewater treatment needs, including:
- Water Treatment Plant
- Wastewater Treatment Plant
- River water and surface water treatment
- Industrial raw water treatment
- Pretreatment before filtration
- Industrial wastewater treatment system
- Commercial and municipal water treatment systems
Hydromaster also includes applications for treating river water, pond water, deep well water, seawater, as well as wastewater and sludge in their water treatment solutions portfolio.
Clarifier as Part of a Water Treatment System
In Water Treatment Plant, Clarifier with Inclined Plate Settler can be used to help reduce suspended solids and turbidity before the water enters the filtration process.
This system can be integrated with Hydromaster technologies such as:
- Multi Media Filter (MMF)
- Ultra Filtration (UF)
- Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis (BWRO)
- Demineralization System
- Electro De-Ionization (EDI)
With proper pretreatment, the load on the subsequent filtration and membrane processes can be reduced so that the system can work more effectively.
Clarifier in Wastewater Treatment System
In Wastewater Treatment Plants, clarifiers can be used to separate solids from wastewater at certain stages in the treatment process.
The collected sludge can then be channeled to the sludge processing process, including the Sludge Dewatering System, while the clarified water is forwarded to the next treatment stage according to the effluent quality target.
Therefore, clarifier design needs to consider the entire WWTP configuration and not just the capacity of the clarifier unit separately.
Clarifier or Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)?
Choosing between Clarifier and Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) depending on the characteristics of the water and the type of contaminant that needs to be separated.
Clarifier utilizes gravity to settle solids so that it is suitable for particles or flocs that can settle well.
DAF uses micro air bubbles to carry contaminants to the surface and is generally more suitable for the separation of light or difficult to settle materials, including applications with certain oil & grease contents.
Hydromaster determines the technology configuration based on the results of water quality analysis, waste characteristics, capacity, and required treatment targets.
