Heavy solids contained in the wastewater, such as sand, clay, enamel, dirt particles, metal hydroxides, or metal abrasion sink to the bottom. This process is called sedimentation; it is made use of in lamella separators in industrial wastewater treatment.
Products for this application
Where are lamella separators used for sedimentation in industrial wastewater treatment?
- for separating sludgy components in the wastewater from cleaning processes
- for separating enamel slurry from tile production
- for separating metal abrasion from metal processing
- for separating precipitated heavy metals from acidic rinse water such as iron hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, and copper hydroxide for subsequent dewatering in a chamber filter press
- for separating phosphates such as calcium phosphate, iron phosphate, or aluminiuim phosphate from phosphating processes
- for separating precipitated fluorides such as calcium fluoride from etching processes
