A Lamella Clarifier is a type of sedimentation tank that uses a series of inclined plates to separate solid particles from liquid. These plates, also known as lamella plates, are arranged at an angle to increase the effective settling area while reducing the footprint of the tank. The inclined plates create a flow pattern that allows solids to settle on the plates’ surface and slide down to the bottom of the tank. The clarified liquid exits the tank through a collection system located at the top of the unit.
Designed to maximise effciency in settling out solids in sewage and industrial wastewater.
Discharge occurs through a full - lenght v -notch channel positioned on either side of the lamella separator.
The weir desing significantly reduces the velocity of the effluent flow resulting in a smaller quantity of suspended solids being transported to the outfall point.
