Significant plant uprating is achievable when tube settlers are retro-fitted to existing sedimentation type clarifiers. Throughput rates may typically be doubled with accompanying improved settled water quality realised.

Better definition and control of sludge blankets or sludge zones provide process cost reduction opportunities and facilitates process automation.

Aquagenics' highly evolved settler design avoids thin wall membranes and utilizes forming techniques to minimise component stress and subsequent environmental stress cracking fatigue.

PVC materials are avoided for potable water installations. UV-stabilized ABS provides excellent protection against environmental degradation which normally determines product life.

The modular and cubical self-supporting settler design aids handling during installation and any subsequent maintenance. Settler tube sheet is extruded, vacuum formed and assembled in Australia. Tube sheet wall thickness of 0.8mm provides robustness and durability.

Ultrasonically-welded formed sheets provide particular advantages, i.e. tube settler module stiffness, robustness and durability.

Over 100 installations have defined this product as an industry standard. Many of these installations have delivered more than 20 years of continuous service while exposed to the harsh environmental conditions experienced in Australia.

Clarifier fit-outs include use of a purpose built bandsaw to pie-cut the settlers for circular tanks and for profiling around superstructure columns, pipework, etc.

With circular clarifiers, the tube settlers are radially arranged with flow directed towards the centre of the clarifier to maximise the reversal of the suspended solids flow path and to maximise the effective area of a tube settler installation.
