Salient Features

• SEDIFLOC increase the settling capacity of circular clarifiers and/or rectangular sedimentation basins by reducing the vertical distance a floc particle must settle before agglomerating to form larger particles.
• SEDIFLOC use multiple tubular channels sloped at an angle of 60° and adjacent to each other, which combine to form an increased effective settling area. This provides for a particle settling depth that is significantly less than the settling depth of a conventional clarifier, reducing settling times.
• SEDIFLOC capture the settle able fine floc that escapes the clarification zone beneath the tube settlers and allows the larger floc to travel to the tank bottom in a more settle able form. The tube settler’s channel collects solids into a compact mass which promotes the solids to slide down the tube channel.

Application

• Power Plant
• Oil & Gas sector
• Chemical industry
• Textile industry
• Pharmaceutical Industries

Advantages

The advantages of tube settlers can be applied to new or existing clarifiers/basins of any size:

• Clarifiers/basins equipped with tube settlers can operate at 2 to 4 times the normal rate of clarifiers/basins without tube settlers.
• It is possible to cut coagulant dosage by up to half while maintaining a lower influent turbidity to the treatment plant filters.
• Less filter backwashing equates to significant operating cost savings for both water and electricity.
• New installations using tube settlers can be designed smaller because of increased flow capability.
• Flow of existing water treatment plants can be increased through the addition of tube settlers.
• Tube settlers increase allowable flow capacity by expanding settling capacity and increasing the solids removal rate in settling tanks.
