Lamella Clarifier
Lamella clarifier is a unit operation used in Water treatment, waste water treatment and sewage treatment Plant. It helps to reduce Suspended Solids, Colloidal Silica and Heavy Metals.
Process Description :-
Lamella Clarifier is a compact, inclined plate type of clarifier. It is used for clarification of water, waste water and liquid having suspended and colloidal particles. Principle of Lamella Clarifier is based on settling under gravity, providing number of inclined plates to give large projected surface area. The pretreated feed stream enters the Lamella and transverses through feed ducts longitudinally, along each side of the Lamella plates, through a bottomless distribution duct. The liquid/solid feed stream then enters each plate chamber near the bottom section of the plates and flows upward between them. As the feed stream moves upwards, solids settle downward by the plates descending a short distance onto the surface area provided by the plates.
Target Impurities :-
- Suspended solids
- Colloidal silica
- Partial BOD and COD removal
Advantages :-
- Potable Water Treatment produces treated water of highest quality with minimum time, space and chemicals.
- Simple and straight forward operation requiring less operator attention and minimum maintenance.
