Request a validated sizingThese results are a first-order estimate based on the classic A = Q / SLR relationship and projected plate area A_plate = L × W × cos(θ). Actual designs account for plate spacing, hydraulic distribution, sludge handling, temperature, coagulation/flocculation and a safety factor. Always confirm with R+F engineering before procurement.
