A clarifier is generally used to remove solid particulates or suspended solids from liquid for clarification and/or thickening. Inside the clarifier, solid contaminants will settle down to the bottom of the tank where it is collected by a scraper mechanism. [2]

2025年1月28日 · A clarifier is essentially a sedimentation tank designed to allow solid particles to settle out of water under the influence of gravity. By removing suspended solids early in the treatment process, the clarifier reduces turbidity, improves water quality, and makes downstream processes more efficient.

2020年4月7日 · The clarified water instead is released over overflow weirs on the top of the clarifier. In properly functioning clarifiers the overflow water looks already very clear. Fats, oil, grease and other floating substances are removed by a rotating skimmer on the water surface.

Generally, very high-molecular-weight, anionic polyacrylamides are the most effective coagulant aids. Nonionic or cationic types have proven successful in some clarifier systems. Essentially, the polymer bridges the small floc particles and causes them to agglomerate rapidly into larger, more cohesive flocs that settle quickly.

2019年6月18日 · Clarifier or Thickener? It can be tempting to try to do both the thickening and clarifying functions to maximum benefit in one go. While technically this is feasible, you’d need a really large diameter (for low rise rate and good clarity), yet tall tank with higher side walls and a robust drive and rake mechanism.

The range of clarifier designs available enables their application across a variety of industries and situations, from municipal water supplies to specialized industrial settings. This versatility allows for customized solutions tailored to specific treatment needs.

2025年3月2日 · The major function of the primary clarifier is the removal of all settleable and floating solid waste that has a high oxygen demand – BOD. The secondary clarifiers, on the other hand, are located near the biological treatment facility, aeration basins, or filters.

High-rate sludge blanket clarifier Video credit: Suez. Suction clarifiers use a vacuum system to collect the sludge from the bottom of the tank. They are used for secondary and final clarification processes.
