Conventional clarification equipment requires 10 times more physical area to even begin to approach the same settling capacity of a Neo tech Lamella Gravity Settler. This means faster settling in one-tenth space because the effective gravity settling area of the inclined plate design equals each plate are projected on a horizontal surface. Up to ten square feet of settling area becomes available for each square foot of physical area occupied by the unit. Loading rates normally used for the design of conventional settlers can be applied to the sizing of a Lamella Settler by substitution projected area for the surface settling area of a conventional clarifier.The compact design minimizes hydraulic disturbances caused by wind or temperature changes. Balanced flow distribution ensures equal flow to each plate and across the plate surface area preventing short-circuiting.Units and plate packs arrive at the job site factory assembled which reduces installation time and lowers installed costs. Minimal moving parts mean low maintenance costs.
