CLARIFIERS

Clarifiers are the principle mechanisms for solid /liquid separation in primary, intermediate and final wastewater clarification applications. 

- SPS manufactures many types of clarifier mechanisms to best suit the clarification processes. 

- Steel tanks or shells are also available. The most widely used clarifiers are depicted below for general information. 

- All types available in sizes 0 - 200 ft diameter.

● in conventional scraper clarifiers the blades are mounted at 45º 

   on the structural arms to direct the solids in stepping blade 

   lengths to a central hopper for removal.

● in rapid sludge removal clarifiers one or two spirally constructed

   blades of varying depths are utilized. The time of directing the solids 

   to the hopper is drastically cut to one or two revolution periods.

● in suction header design the sludge is directed into a tapered rectangular header through a hydraulically sized system of orifices and then into the submerged sealed manifold for rapid sludge removal.

● in the suction pipe design the sludge is conveyed through piping from 

the plow blades nozzle to the RAS well, accessible from the bridge, 

and the sludge flow can be observed and adjusted for optimum operation.

 

sPs FLOCCULATING CLARIFIERS have applications in both fresh water and wastewater treatment clarification processes. The introduction of chemical additives into an oversized feedwell, which provides a longer detention time, enhances formation of floc. Variable speed turbine or paddle type mixers are furnished for gentle agitation allowing uniform chemical dispersion and growth of floc particles. Bigger floc settles faster and better, insuring a high degree of clarification
