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 recommends
1- Chevron Tube Settler
An innovative design, a choreography that optimizes settling efficiency.
- Optimized Tube Configuration: Tubes are strategically arranged to maximize settling surface area.
- Tube Inclination for Enhanced Performance: Tubes set at 45-60 degrees optimize gravitational forces.
- Hydraulic Efficiency: Hydraulic loading rates range from 6 to 13 m³/m².hr.
- Solids Removal Efficiency: Removal rates range from 70% to 90%.
- Particle Size Handling: Effective for particles as small as 20 micrometers.
- Footprint Efficiency: Compact design saves 20-50% space.
- Energy Consumption: Operates under gravity, minimizing energy use.
- Biosolids Concentration: Achieves 2-5% solid concentrations in dewatered sludge.
2- Parallel Plate Settlers
- Parallel plate settlers compose a symphony of closely spaced.
- Plates are set at a precise inclination angle, typically ranging between 45 to 60 degrees, ensuring optimal particle settling and water drainage.
Surface Area Optimization:
- The surface area for settling is maximized through the careful arrangement of closely spaced plates.
- Our PPS units provide up to 2-3 times the settling surface area compared to traditional sedimentation tanks.
- Achieve hydraulic loading rates range from 1 to 5 m³/m².hr, showcasing exceptional efficiency.
3-Hexagonal Tube Settlers
Hexagonal Configuration for Superior Efficiency
- Tikal’s Hexagonal Tube Settlers feature a unique arrangement of tubes, forming a hexagonal pattern that maximizes the settling surface area.
- Settling surface area: Achieve a 30% increase in compared to traditional square or circular tube settler designs.
Hydraulic loading rates
- Low to Moderate Loading Rates: in the range of 1 to 3 m³/m².hr, For applications where a high degree of solids removal is required, such as in drinking water treatment plants, hydraulic loading rates
Moderate to High Loading Rates
rates in the range of 3 to 5 m³/m².hr or higher may be employed.
