The Lamella Plate Settler is a type of water treatment equipment that is designed to separate solids from liquids through a sedimentation process. It consists of a series of inclined plates arranged in a parallel manner within a tank or basin.

Each plate in the Lamella Plate Settler is typically made of a corrosion-resistant material such as plastic or stainless steel. The plates are inclined at an angle ranging from 45 to 60 degrees, which creates a large effective settling area within a compact footprint.

The inclined plates provide multiple settling surfaces, allowing for the efficient separation of solids from the liquid stream. As the water flows through the Lamella Plate Settler, the solid particles settle onto the inclined plates due to gravity. The settled solids then slide down the plates and collect at the bottom of the tank, forming a sludge layer.

The clarified liquid, free from most of the solid particles, continues its flow towards the outlet of the settler. To enhance the settling process, a flocculant or coagulant may be added to the influent water, which helps in aggregating the fine particles into larger flocs, making them easier to settle.

The Lamella Plate Settler is designed with a system that periodically flushes the sludge layer from the bottom of the tank to maintain its efficiency. This sludge removal process can be automated or manual, depending on the specific design and requirements of the system.

The Lamella Plate Settler offers a compact and efficient solution for solid-liquid separation in water treatment applications. Its unique plate design maximizes the settling area, allowing for high removal efficiency while minimizing the footprint of the equipment.
