What is a Clarifier in Wastewater Treatment?
Clarifiers are settling tanks built with mechanical means for continuous removal of solids being deposited by sedimentation. A clarifier is generally used to remove solid particulates or suspended solids from the liquid for clarification and (or) thickening. |
What is the Purpose of the Clarifier?
The purpose of a clarifier is to remove solids, produce a cleaner effluent and concentrate solids. The concentration of solids removed from the wastewater reduces the volume of sludge for dewatering and/or disposal. |
