Lamella®

World Leading Plate Clarifier

Reliable, efficient sediment removal with up to 90% less footprint.
Product Profile

Advantages

The Lamella® Separator is an economical and space-saving
method of optimising sedimentation. Utilising highly compact
settlers with very small foot-prints. Its success is due to a number
of factors mainly the unique, patented flow control system, which
represents a breakthrough in modern plate separator design
and has contributed significantly to the excellent reliability and
efficiency of the unit.

Space requirement can be reduced by up to 90% when
compared with a settlement tank.
Unique, patented flow control system increases reliability.
Up to 10 m2 of settling area per square metre of ground area.
Supplied as a complete unit for easy installation.
Available in standard and site-specific versions.
Minimal operating and maintenance costs.
The operational reliability of the separator is increased by
using the clarified liquid as the flow control medium, making
the unit less sensitive to flow variations and reducing the risk
of fouling.
Allowing the feed to enter the plate assembly from the side
rather than from underneath eliminates the risk of disturbing
previously settled material.
