Secondary Treatment

Clarification Following Biological Treatment

Plate settlers provide efficient secondary clarification of biological floc, delivering clear effluent and reliable solids separation.

Secondary Treatment

Secondary treatment removes the biological solids generated during aeration or fixed-film processes. Effective secondary clarification is essential to return activated sludge and produce clear effluent.

Plate settlers capture biological floc at high loading rates, making them well suited to intensifying secondary clarification or de-bottlenecking overloaded secondary clarifiers.

The compact, stainless-steel design integrates readily with activated sludge, MBBR, and other biological systems while maintaining stable solids capture under variable conditions.

Treatment Challenges & Solutions

Floc Carryover

Short settling distance captures light biological floc reliably.

Sludge Return

Consistent underflow supports stable return activated sludge.

Load Swings

Handles diurnal and seasonal load variation without upset.
