Clarifying Thickeners

AKA-SET

The "clarifying solution" in waste water treatment.

One apparatus - three advantages:

High loading rate per unit settling area

The flow routing of the flocculated feed slurry in the filtering zone in counter-current to the
sedimenting particles causes the formation of macro flocs. These flocs are sedimented at a
higher speed than the micro flocs of conventional thickeners. This in turn results in a higher loading rate per unit settling area and smaller thickener diameters, compared to the traditional
static thickeners.

High and uniform sludge concentration

A sufficiently dimensioned compression zone with a multi-arm raking mechanism ensures a
high degree of thickening. The raking bars ensure an extremely good subsequent dewatering
in the thickening zone.

High clarified flow quality

The clarified liquid and filtering zone which is monitored by instrumentation and control
engineering devices ensures a high clarification efficiency and a good clarified flow quality.
Optional: Skimmer system
