LAMELLA SETTLERS

Lamella Clarifier by United International Hydro Engineering Technologies (UIHET) are designed to remove high concentrations of suspended solids from water, where the solids have a specific gravity >1.0. They are ideal for applications where the solids loading is >30 mg/L, particle sizing is fine, or for removal of dissolved metals via hydroxide precipitation. The standard treatment process includes coagulant dosing and mixing, followed by solids separation with automated sludge wasting. Additional treatment steps, such as pH correction for precipitation of heavy metals, and various optional equipment is available to suit project specific requirements. UIHET Lamella Clarifiers can be integrated into a treatment process, or supplied as a stand-alone system.

There are three types of the Lamella Settlers Systems:

1. Carbon Steel Structure Lamella Clarifier System
2. Concrete Structure Lamella Settlers System
3. Flat Plate Lamella Packing

At UIHET, we design our Settler System to best suit any basin geometry and sludge collection system in both, concrete underground tanks or Stainless tank. This approach can dramatically reduce the footprint of a conventional sedimentation basin, often by as much as 50 to 90%. It can also significantly increase the treatment capacity of existing basins while improving effluent quality. Compared to similar out put sedimentation basins without settlers, the UIHET Settler System requires a much smaller footprint, performs consistently better, is more reliable, and when all capital, construction, and operational costs are factored in over the life of the system can actually cost less. 

The standard treatment process includes coagulant dosing and mixing, followed by solids separation with automated sludge wasting. Additional treatment steps, such as pH correction for precipitation of heavy metals, and various optional equipment are available to suit project specific requirements. UIHET Flat Plate Lamella Packings can be integrated into a treatment process, or supplied as a stand-alone system. UIHET’s Flat Plate Lamella Packings feature smaller footprint than conventional settling clarifiers and the system requires no energy input and has a much lower probability of mechanical failure than other clarifiers. Moreover, UIHET’s Flat Plate Lamella Packings are modular and can be resize to fit any treatment process requirements.
