Lamella Clarifiers
Pacific Water Technology’s Lamella Plate Vertical Clarifiers provide an efficient, compact, and cost-effective solution for removing suspended solids from industrial, commercial, and municipal wastewater. Unlike traditional settling tanks, our lamella clarifiers feature inclined plate technology, offering up to ten times more settling area while significantly reducing the required floor space. This innovative design allows for high-performance solid-liquid separation in applications with feed water concentrations of up to 10,000 mg/L of oil and grease and 4,000 mg/L of suspended solids.
When used in combination with coagulants and flocculants, PWT Lamella Clarifiers can remove over 90% of suspended solids, making them ideal for industrial wastewater treatment, process water clarification, and high-strength effluent management. With minimal energy requirements and no moving parts, these clarifiers are highly reliable and low-maintenance.
Key features include coated carbon steel or stainless steel 304/316 construction, anti-corrosion treatment, uPVC lamella plates, equal flow distribution, and a durable, compact design. The system ensures consistent laminar flow, maximizing particle settling efficiency while maintaining high water quality. Optional Flash Mix and Flocculation Tanks allow precise chemical and polymer dosing, further enhancing solid removal performance.
Our Lamella Clarifiers operate by distributing incoming water evenly across laminar plates, allowing solids to settle and slide into a pyramid-shaped sludge hopper for easy collection and removal. The modular design also enables straightforward inspection and maintenance by allowing individual lamella plate modules to be removed.
With capacities starting at 5 m³/h and a typical settling time of 60 minutes, PWT’s Lamella Plate Vertical Clarifiers deliver reliable, high-efficiency wastewater treatment and process water clarification for industries across Australia.
