Primary Treatment
High-Rate Primary Clarification
Plate settlers intensify primary treatment, removing settleable solids and reducing organic load to downstream biological processes.
Primary Treatment
Primary treatment removes settleable solids and a share of the organic load before biological treatment, reducing the burden on aeration and secondary systems.
By replacing or supplementing conventional primary clarifiers with plate settlers, plants capture more solids at higher flow rates in a smaller footprint — improving overall plant capacity and efficiency.
Chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) with coagulant dosing and plate settler clarification can dramatically increase TSS and BOD removal ahead of biological stages.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
Solids & BOD Load
High-rate settling reduces load to aeration and secondary treatment.
CEPT Capability
Supports chemically enhanced primary treatment for higher removal.
Footprint
Delivers primary capacity in far less space than round clarifiers.
