"Clarifier Design Parameters"

for information on the accurate design and sizing of
Clarifiers and Clarification Systems

Hydro-Flo Technologies' line of Inclined Plate (Lamella) clarifiers is engineered to remove settleable suspended solids from wastewater or process streams by the most efficient means available.  A properly designed Inclined Plate (Lamella) clarifier will remove these solids allowing downstream filters or process equipment to perform as designed, as well as reducing overall operating costs and improving overall system maintainability.

Every Hydro-Flo Inclined Plate (Lamella) Clarifier is available with numerous plate spacing options.  By altering the plate spacing (to allow for different solids loading ratios, settling rates, etc.) Hydro-Flo can make certain your clarifier is sized appropriately for your application.  By combining the plate spacing options with different Inclined Plate (Lamella) clarifier configurations, Hydro-Flo ends up with the largest line of clarifiers available.   This allows us to solve a tremendous variety of water treatment issues, making Hydro-Flo Inclined Plate (Lamella) Clarifiers the most versatile systems available.

LS Series (Stinger™)
Inclined Plate Clarifier

Model LS-21 handles up to
50 GPM of continuous flow
(based on application)

The LS series clarifier (affectionately dubbed the "stinger") is the finest low flow clarifier available.  We have only had this product on the market for 2 years and already, other companies are copying the design.

Three LS Series Inclined Plate Clarifiers Ready for Shippment 10Built from the highest quality materials the "Stinger" has features usually found in much more expensive clarifiers.  For example, it comes standard with a sludge thickener (which pre-conditions the sludge prior to dewatering and also prevents maintenance issues like "rat" holing).  And it has the largest sludge storage capacity of any clarifier it its class.

It comes pre-assembled, factory tested and is easy to install.  Simple to  operate and maintain.   Everything you could want in an industrial duty clarifier built to take all the abuse you can throw at it and still keep doing its job day in and day out.

Hydro-Flo Technologies manufactures two basic Inclined Plate (Lamella) clarifier models, the LS Series (Stinger™) and the ClariMax™.

Also, we have the capability of adding a central surface drag skimmer for the removal of floatable constituents from the waste stream.  This is an exclusive Hydro-Flo feature, making our clarification systems the most versatile available.

This feature becomes extremely important for those of you who are treating a variety of waste streams with a single system.  By incorporating a dissolved air flotation recycle system, the clarifier can now operate as an incredibly efficient dissolved air flotation system.  This will allow you to operate the system as a clarifier when treating "settleable" materials and as a DAF when your waste product tends to float or remain suspended in the waste stream.

ClariMax™ Series
Inclined Plate Clarifier

 

 

 

 

 

The ClariMax™ Inclined Plate (Lamella) clarifier is designed for high flow (up to 3000 GPM) severe duty applications.  The ClariMax™ is available in four different profiles, ranging in height from 8 to16 feet tall (with the sludge thickener) and 9 to 19 feet tall (with the pyramid hopper).

LS Series (Stinger™)
Inclined Plate Clarifier

 

 

 

 

 

The LS Series Inclined Plate (Lamella) clarifier is designed for low flow solids sedimentation applications.  It can handle flow rates up to a maximum of 200 GPM.  It is a compact, cost effective clarifier suitable for most applications with solids loading ratios of less than 1500 PPM.

Chemical pretreatment for inclined plate clarification systems:

Chemical pretreatment is not always needed with inclined plate clarification systems. When used, chemical pretreatment allows for the separation and removal of contaminants a clarifier alone will not remove.  Most pretreatment applications require the use of acids, caustics, coagulants and a flocculating polymers. The more common coagulants are inorganic salts such as alum, ferric chloride, ferrous sulfate, lime, sodium hydroxide or organic polymers. Preconditioning requirements are usually site specific and will impact operating cost, effluent quality, sludge volume and possibly water reuse.

The Hydro-Flo Technologies inclined plate clarification system can handle difficult wastewater applications as a stand alone system, or with any combination of chemical inputs, including liquid polyelectrolyte's, dry powders, and organic and inorganic wastewater chemicals with various injection rates.

Hydro-Flo's customers have the opportunity to utilize our wastewater tech resources located in St. Charles, Illinois, USA. Instead of sending a sample to our facility for analysis, we dispatch a chemist to your site in order to review your entire process.  Representative wastewater samples are taken and jar tests conducted on site to identify the most cost effective chemical pretreatment program.  A lab test study will also determine the most relevant equipment for your application.  Our on site lab tests also tell us the proper chemical treatment, proper mixing times, as well as present us with a good understanding of how and where to locate the chemical injection points in the piping system ahead of the clarifier. Lab studies identify approximate operating costs and wastewater cost savings. This information is very valuable, and necessary, to develop the proper chemical regime and determine the proper sizing of the separation systems.
