HOW IT WORKS

The Suction Pipe Clarifier uses separate riser pipes to convey solids from pick-up points along the structural rake arms to the sludge collection box at the top of the column.

Each pipe entrance contains V-shaped rake blades connected to the rake arm; its upper end terminates with an open-top gate valve in the sludge collection box. The valve is easily accessible from the clarifier maintenance platform, allowing the relative flow rates to be individually adjusted and permitting both visual inspection of sludge flow and sampling to determine concentration.
