Lamella System
Lamella clarifiers enhance the traditional sedimentation process by incorporating inclined plates or tubes, providing a larger effective settling area within a compact footprint. This technology is designed to improve particle settling efficiency and optimize the use of space in sedimentation basins.
Between Several designs, Tikal recommend;
- Parallel Plate Settlers:
- parallel plate settlers compose a symphony of closely spaced, inclined plates. Laminar flow enriches the settling area, creating a crescendo of efficiency.
- Hexagonal Tube Settlers:
- Tubes arranged in a hexagonal pattern, engage in a ballet of space optimization, amplifying settling efficiency within a compact footprint.
- Chevron Tube Settler:
- An innovative design, a choreography that optimizes settling efficiency.
Tikal Design and selection Considerations
- Flow Rate and Capacity
- Particle Size Distribution
- Temperature and Chemical Compatibility
- Loading Conditions
- Material Compatibility
- Modularity and Retrofitting
- Tube Spacing and Diameter
If retrofitting into an existing sedimentation basin is required, the modularity of the tube settler design should be considered for ease of installation.
