Tube Settler Media

Working Principle: -

With the counter current flow, wastewater suspension in the basin passes upward through the tube modules and exit from the basin above the modules. The solid that settle out within the tubes move by gravity counter currently downward and out of the modules to the basin bottom.

Unique Features and Advantages: - 

• The advantages of Tube settler can be applied to new or existing clarifiers/basins of any size.
• Clarifiers/basins equipped with Tube settler can operate at 2 to 4 times the normal rate of clarifiers/basins without Tube settler.
• It is possible to cut coagulant dosage by up to half while maintaining a lower influent turbidity to the treatment plant filters.
• Less filter backwashing equates to significant operating cost savings for both water and electricity.
• New installations using Tube settler can be designed smaller because of increased flow capability.
• Flow of existing water treatment plants can be increased through the addition of Tube settler.
• Tube settler increase allowable flow capacity by expanding settling capacity and increasing the solids removal rate in settling tanks.
