Lamellas add efficiency to clarification - "A good option for renovation of old plants"

Lamella clarifiers offer an efficient solution for enhancing the sedimentation process in wastewater treatment plants. When refurbishing old facilities or increasing system capacity, lamellas combined with a well-designed scraper system can provide significant advantages.

There is now interest in increasing the capacity of facilities, especially in European markets, says Mechanical Engineer Bowei Allen Li.

Lamellas are used to improve the efficiency of the sedimentation process. Lamella plates or tubes increase the clarification surface area of the sedimentation tank. The Finnchain scraper system can be installed under these lamellas. 

Lamella clarifiers are also well suited for renovation and modernisation projects, as well as for sites where the capacity of the system needs to be increased.

- For example, there are many long-serving plants in the Nordic countries that need to be refurbished. Often, the aim is to increase the capacity of the plant at the same time. One good option is to replace old clarifiers with lamella clarifiers. There is now a lot of interest, especially in the European market," says Mechanical Engineer Bowei Allen Li.

A functioning clarification process needs a scraper system designed specifically for it. Finnchain always uses the strong and durable components best suited to the need.

- With a variety of beam profiles, we find a solution that enables efficient sludge removal even under demanding conditions.

Finnchain has many patented features that make the clarification process reliable and efficient. Our unique safety device, the Chain Watch, completes the package. It protects the scraper system from disturbances and improves its reliability.
