Clarifiers
Gbaqua environments solutional is one of the fastest growing companies in India and is a manufacturer and supplier of
clarifiers for wastewater that are used to remove suspended solids from wastewater. They are typically large circular
tanks that use gravity, flocculation, and sedimentation to remove suspended solids from the wastewater. The solids
settle to the bottom of the tank and are then removed. Clarifiers can be used to treat wastewater from industrial
processes, agricultural activities, septic tank systems, and municipal wastewater treatment plants. They can also be
used to improve wastewater quality, reduce the amount of solids entering downstream treatment processes, and
reduce the amount of sludge produced in a wastewater treatment plant.
Gravity clarifiers are the most common type of clarifier used in wastewater treatment. These units use gravity to
separate the suspended solids from the wastewater. The wastewater enters the clarifier from the top and flows
downward. As the wastewater passes through the device, the heavier solids settle to the bottom of the and are
collected in a sludge hopper. The clarified wastewater is then discharged.
Flocculation clarifiers use chemical flocculants to remove suspended solids from wastewater. The flocculants cause
the suspended solids to form larger particles, which then settle to the bottom of the clarifier. The clarified
wastewater is discharged while the sludge is removed from the hopper.
Sedimentation clarifiers are similar to gravity clarifiers but use a mechanical device to remove suspended solids from
wastewater. The suspended solids are collected on a rotating drum, which is then scraped off and discharged from the
clarifier.
Clarifiers are an important part of any wastewater treatment system. They are used to remove suspended solids from
wastewater and improve the quality of the effluent. Clarifiers can be used to reduce the amount of solids entering
downstream treatment processes and reduce the amount of sludge produced in a wastewater treatment plant.
Clarifiers are also used to recycle water for reuse applications.
