TSS Removal
Total Suspended Solids Reduction with Plate Settler Clarification
Plate settlers reliably reduce total suspended solids (TSS) to below 10–20 mg/L, meeting discharge permits and protecting downstream processes.
TSS Removal
Total suspended solids (TSS) is one of the most commonly regulated parameters in wastewater discharge permits. High TSS increases turbidity, carries adsorbed pollutants, and accelerates fouling of downstream equipment.
Inclined plate settlers provide a large effective settling area within a compact footprint, allowing suspended solids to be captured efficiently even at high hydraulic loading. With upstream coagulation and flocculation, plate settler systems routinely bring TSS below 10–20 mg/L.
Because performance depends on floc characteristics rather than tank size, plate settlers deliver stable TSS removal across variable flow and load conditions — making them ideal for both municipal and industrial effluents.
Key Benefits
Low Effluent TSS
Consistent effluent TSS below 10–20 mg/L with optimized chemical dosing.
Compact Footprint
Up to 80% less space than conventional clarifiers for the same solids load.
Stable Under Load
Reliable performance despite flow and concentration fluctuations.
