Recycling Wastewater
Clarification for Material Recycling Wash Water
Plate settlers clarify wash water from plastics, paper, and material recycling operations, enabling water reuse and solids capture.
Recycling Wastewater
Material recycling — plastics, paper, glass, and metals — uses large volumes of wash water that accumulate fine solids, fibers, and contaminants. Clarifying and reusing this water is key to efficient, sustainable recycling.
Plate settlers capture the fine solids and fibers at high loading, returning clarified wash water to the process and concentrating the removed material.
Compact, robust systems reduce fresh-water demand and discharge volume in recycling facilities.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
Wash Water Reuse
Returns clarified wash water to recycling processes.
Fine Solids
Captures fibers and fine solids from mixed streams.
Lower Fresh Water
Reduces fresh-water intake and effluent volume.
