    Inclined tube (plate) precipitator

    Product Review:

    Inclined tube (plate) settler is a combination sedimentation device of high efficiency.

    It is derived from the settler theory of

    shallow tank.

    In the sedimentation area, multiple closely placed inclined tubes or plates are arranged so that impurities suspended in water can be deposited on them by gravity.  The water flows upward through the built-in pipes or plates, and the separated sludge flows downward, and is concentrated and discharged at tank bottom.

    This type of settler can improve sedimentation efficiency by 50-60 per cent and increase treatment capacity by 3-5 times over the same surface area.

    Equipment advantages:

    The equipment is applicable for industrial wastewater treatment for various industries such as electroplating, coal mining, ore dressing, printing and dyeing, bleaching, tanning, food and chemical industries. It provides a high degree of removal of metals, turbidity, color and organic matter depending on the specific wastewater.

    Product Benefits

    Engineering of the calculated water surface area ensures the absence of suspended solids carryover, even under peak loads. Highly accurate flow distribution between the plates eliminates turbulence. Technological solutions for integrating thin-layer modules into existing tanks guarantee a significant increase in treatment plant performance without major construction.

    FAQ

    Why are inclined plates more effective than conventional horizontal settling tanks?

    The operating principle of a thin-layer settling tank is to increase the useful settling area within a compact unit. Inclined plates shorten the falling distance of particles, allowing them to reach the surface more quickly and drain into a sludge pit. This allows for a treatment facility footprint 4-10 times smaller than that of traditional concrete basins.

    How is interchannel clogging prevented when handling viscous wastewater?

    The plate angle in ASMEX PETROCHEM equipment is designed to ensure self-cleaning under gravity. To remove adherent contaminants, systems can be equipped with vibration or flushing units. This is critical for stable operation at light industry enterprises in Uzbekistan, where wastewater contains lint and grease.

    How durable are the polymer modules in the settling tank?

    We use high-strength polypropylene or PVC blocks that are resistant to UV rays and chemically aggressive environments. The modular design facilitates installation and replacement of individual elements without dismantling the entire frame. With proper hydraulic control, the plates retain their rigidity and shape for decades.
