LAMELLAR SETTLER
The function of the lamellar settler is to remove
suspended semi-heavy and heavy particles (grit, clay and
lime) from the water. These elements hinder subsequent
treatment by producing deposits in hydraulic conduits,
piping and channels and causing abrasion to pump
impellers and equipment etc.

Lamellar settlers are designed for the continuous
separation of sediments from water and they have two
basic purposes: to increase the settling area and to
obtain a laminar flow.

The concept of the lamellar settler is based on the fact

that the surface load (m /m /day) of a freefall settling tank
does not depend on its depth. It is therefore possible to
increase the capacity of a settling tank by dividing it,
thereby creating a number of “settling tanks”, or by using
plates inclined at a certain angle.
