Lamella Clarifier
Lamella Clarifier
The lamella clarifier is a system used to separate solids from liquids using inclined plates. These plates help particles settle faster and then guide them into a sludge hopper. It is highly effective at removing suspended solids, reducing turbidity, and lowering pollutants such as COD and metal ions. This makes it suitable for both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. Its compact design provides high settling capacity in a small space. Since it works by gravity and has no moving parts, it uses little energy and needs very little maintenance. It also runs continuously and can be customised for different treatment needs.

Working Principle
The Lamella Clarifier, also known as an Inclined Plate Settler (IPS), operates based on gravity sedimentation enhanced by inclined plate technology. Wastewater flows upward through a series of plates or tubes installed at approximately 60° inclination. As the flow passes through these plates, suspended solids settle rapidly onto the surfaces due to the reduced settling distance. The settled solids form a compact sludge layer, which slides down along the inclined plates into the collection hopper under gravity. Clarified water continues to rise and is collected at the top of the system for discharge or reuse.
Key Benefits
- High-Efficiency Solid-Liquid Separation
Removes suspended solids with efficiency exceeding 95%, delivering consistently high clarification performance. - Excellent Turbidity Reduction
Reduces turbidity from high influent levels (up to 1600 mg/L) down to approximately 5 mg/L, ensuring clear effluent quality. - Effective COD Removal
Achieves COD reduction of up to 80%, depending on wastewater characteristics and operating conditions. - Metal Ion Removal Capability
Provides removal efficiency of over 93% for dissolved metal ions in industrial wastewater applications. - Compact & Space-Saving Design
Inclined plate configuration significantly increases settling area, allowing high capacity within a small footprint. - Low Energy & Operating Cost
Gravity-driven process requires minimal power, reducing operational and lifecycle costs. - Stable and Continuous Operation
Simple design with no moving parts enables reliable, uninterrupted treatment with low maintenance requirements. - Efficient Alternative to Conventional Sedimentation
Delivers faster settling and reduced footprint compared to traditional sedimentation tanks.
