AWP - Lamella Separator
The Lamella separator was developed by the Axel Johnson Institute in Sweden during the 1970s and became a world leader in the field of lamella technology. Lamella separators are designed to maximize the effectiveness of separation in the smallest possible space. Lamella owes its popularity to many significant factors. One of the most important is a well-confirmed design that contributes to the excellent process safety and reliability.
The liquid to be purified is supplied through the Lamella Separator inlet into the inlet channels and from there via internal inlet ports into the lamella package(s). In those cases where the Lamella Separator is combined with a flocculation tank, the liquid is flocculated before being supplied through the inlet. As the liquid flows through the lamella pack(s), the particles/sludge in the liquid settle on the lam-ella plates. A sludge layer will build up on the plates, and the sludge by gravity slides down into the sludge thickener and is discharged through the sludge outlet. Sludge discharge takes place via a " Pickst fence" sludge scraper, which also helps to improve the sludge thickening process. The clarified water is discharged through the outlet via flow-distributing outlet flumes.
