Municipal Wastewater Treatment
High-Rate Clarification for Municipal WWTPs
Plate settlers provide proven, space-efficient clarification for municipal wastewater treatment plants — from primary clarification to tertiary polishing.
Municipal Wastewater Treatment
Municipal wastewater treatment plants face increasing demands: tighter discharge limits, growing populations, aging infrastructure, and limited space for expansion. Plate settlers address all of these challenges with compact, high-performance clarification.
In primary treatment, plate settlers improve TSS and BOD removal, reducing the load on downstream biological processes. In tertiary applications, they enable phosphorus removal and effluent polishing to meet stringent nutrient limits.
For existing plants, retrofitting plate settlers into existing clarifiers can increase capacity by 200–300% without new construction — the most cost-effective path to expansion.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
Capacity Constraints
Increase treatment capacity without building new tanks through plate settler retrofit.
Nutrient Limits
Achieve phosphorus discharge limits below 0.5 mg/L with chemical precipitation and plate settling.
Space Limitations
Compact plate settlers require up to 80% less space than conventional clarifiers.
