Lamellar Decanter for Water and Wastewater Treatment

High efficiency in removing solids with a smaller installation footprint.

The CCLM Lamellar Decanter was developed to promote the efficient separation of suspended solids in water and wastewater treatment systems, using lamellar modules composed of inclined plates that significantly increase the effective sedimentation area.

This technology allows for high clarification efficiency in a compact unit, reducing the need for large tanks and optimizing available plant space. Each system is sized according to flow rate, water or effluent characteristics, and project objectives.

Applications:

Lamellar Settling Tanks are suitable for Water Treatment Plants (WTP), Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP), Physical-Chemical Treatment, Water Reuse Systems, Food Industries, Chemical Industries, Metallurgical Industries, Pulp and Paper, Mining, Electroplating, and various industrial processes.

Available Models:

• Compact Lamellar Decanter
• Industrial Lamellar Decanter
• Custom Systems
• Integration with Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant

How does a lamellar decanter work?

1. The effluent enters the equipment;
2. The flow is distributed between the lamellar modules;
3. Solids settle on inclined plates;
4. The sludge is directed to the bottom of the equipment;
5. The clarified water then proceeds to the next stages of treatment.

When should a lamellar decanter be used?

It is recommended when the process requires:

• High efficiency in removing solids;
• smaller deployment area;
• increasing the station's capacity;
• Reducing the load on filters and membranes;
• Optimization of physicochemical systems.

Why invest in a lamellar decanter?

The sedimentation stage is one of the main stages in water treatment systems and various wastewater treatment processes. An inadequate sedimentation tank can compromise subsequent stages, increase the consumption of chemicals, and reduce the performance of filters and other equipment.

The CCLM Lamellar Decanter uses inclined plates that increase the effective sedimentation area, accelerating the separation of solids and providing high clarification efficiency in a compact unit. The result is more efficient treatment, less space required, and reduced operating costs.

8 advantages of having a Decanter:

1. High efficiency in removing suspended solids: Promotes rapid sedimentation of suspended solids, significantly improving the quality of treated water or effluent.
2. Reduced installation area: The inclined plates increase the effective settling area, allowing for more compact equipment than conventional settling tanks.
3. Reduced load on downstream equipment: It reduces the amount of solids reaching the filters, membranes, flotation units, and other treatment stages, increasing their efficiency and lifespan.
4. Potential for reducing chemical consumption: More efficient sedimentation can help optimize the use of coagulants and flocculants in certain applications.
5. Simple and reliable operation: Robust system, easy to operate and with low intervention requirements.
6. Customized project: Each piece of equipment is developed according to the flow rate, effluent characteristics, and specific needs of the client.
7. Low maintenance requirements: Equipment designed for continuous operation, with highly durable components and simplified maintenance.
8. Excellent cost-benefit ratio: Greater treatment efficiency, smaller footprint, and reduced operating costs make this a highly advantageous investment.
