Clarification Systems

Clarification

Water clarification is a crucial process in water treatment that involves removing suspended particles, impurities, and turbidity from water to make it clearer and safer for various uses. This process is typically used in drinking water treatment plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and industrial processes.

We offer a selection of advanced high-flow-rate clarification technologies leveraging micro sand ballasted flocs. This innovative approach integrates coagulation, flocculation, and lamella settlement phases into a single, space-efficient processing unit. Our system offers rapid start-up and shutdown capabilities, demonstrating remarkable prowess in accommodating fluctuations in flow and load. This results in elevated settling rates.

Clarification AS1

A trailer-mounted system that combines 'weighted flocculation' and lamella settlement, providing very high settling rates. The system is configured for the removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Turbidity, Colour, oil & grease, and heavy metals. This system is capable of treating 25 to 125m³/h.

Clarification Turbo

A trailer-mounted system that combines 'weighted flocculation' and lamella settlement, delivering very high settling rates. The system is configured for the removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Turbidity, Colour, oil & grease, and heavy metals. It has a flow rate range of 25 to 150 m³/h. This system also incorporates an integrated sludge thickening facility capable of producing sludge at 2% dry solids.

Typical Applications

Drinking water clarification

Ensuring effective removal of suspended particles, turbidity, pathogens, and contaminants from the water. This results in improved water quality that meets or exceeds regulatory standards for safe drinking water.

Tertiary wastewater treatment

Providing effective solutions to enhance the quality of treated wastewater before its discharge into the environment or its reuse for various purposes.

Tertiary solids and phosphate polishing

Capturing tertiary solid, reducing residual microorganisms, and removing fine particles and phosphorus to produce a clearer effluent.

Sludge liquors treatment

Removal of dissolved and suspended organic matter, nutrients, and contaminants that need to be managed before final disposal or reuse.

Activated sludge clarification

Providing temporary or supplementary treatment capacity, testing capabilities, and process optimization to enhance wastewater treatment efficiency and reliability.

RO pre-treatment (combined with filtration)

Removing suspended solids, colloids, turbidity, organic matter, and other contaminants to safeguard the integrity of RO membranes, improve overall RO efficiency, and ensure consistent high-quality treated water production.

Trickling filters humus tank, combined sewer overflow treatment

Removing contaminants to improve water quality, ensure compliance with regulations, and contribute to minimizing environmental impacts and protecting public health.

 

Success Story

The client is an agri-food enterprise specializing in the processing and distribution of edible oils, fats, margarines, and semi-finished ingredients for food production, notably in the confectionery sector.

Our solution involved emergency coagulation, flocculation, and settling, upfront a demineralization plant, due to a previous flawed installation by a competitor.

We provided a 100 m³/h clarification unit, ensuring swift setup and effective MES treatment achieving < 2ppm, thus delivering immediate operational advantages.

Water Clarification FAQs

What is water clarification?

Water clarification is a process that removes suspended solids and solid particles from water. It’s a key part of water treatment and is used in a variety of settings, including industrial processes, wastewater treatment facilities, and drinking water treatment plants. Clarification water treatment that separates particles in suspension from clear water using gravity.

Why is water clarification important?

The need for clarification in the process of water treatment is very important in the purification of industrial water. Its main use is for the removal of colloidal substances which impart turbidity, colour, and/or taste to water. Water clarification is vital in producing safe, clean, and clearer water. By removing suspended solids and improving water quality, clarification plays a significant role in protecting public health and ensuring the efficient operation of water treatment facilities.

What types of water can be treated with clarification? (industrial, wastewater etc)

Water clarification is used in the pre-treatment of drinking water, prior to further purification, and the treatment of municipal wastewater and industrial effluent. Water clarification is used in producing high-quality water for various applications, such as drinking water, industrial processes, and wastewater treatment.
