Clairifiers
Clarifiers
Clarifiers settle out solids into slurry by gravity feeding the wastewater from the top of the unit directly to the bottom, and forcing the water back up through the plate packs. Solids settle in the bottom cone section as thick slurry.
The inclined parallel plate Clarifiers, manufactured by Met-Chem, are used as part of a wastewater treatment system for solids settling, are constructed of carbon steel with coal tar epoxy lining on the inside, and epoxy coating on the exterior. The internal plate pack is set at 60% for optimum settling and is constructed of a epoxy-coated steel shell with plastic plates.
