Lamella separators

Lamella separators utilize the principle of gravitational sedimentation on inclined plates, where particles settle and slide down into the sludge zone. They are used for efficient removal of suspended solids in both drinking water treatment and municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. By increasing the effective separation area through inclined lamella plates, they achieve high efficiency at reduced volumes and significantly reduce the footprint compared to conventional sedimentation tanks.

Depending on the suspended solids load, the units can be designed with a conical bottom, a flat bottom equipped with scraping (for improved sludge thickening), or sludge removal by means of a screw conveyor.
