Lamella clarifier

A lamella clarifier is a water treatment process that features a core of inclined metal plates, which cause flocculated material to precipitate from water that flows across the plates, thus "clarifying" the water.

Inclined plate settlers or lamella clarifiers are primarily used in the water and wastewater treatment industries to separate solids from liquids in effluent streams. The clarifier is the third step in what is primarily a four step process for water and waste water treatment. In wastewater treatment the four main steps are collection and homogenization of effluent, pH adjustment, clarification, and dewatering.
