A slant plate clarifier, also known as a lamella clarifier, is one of the most efficient pieces of equipment for separating solids from liquid in industrial wastewater. Met-Chem’s slant plate clarifiers are engineered for high performance, easy installation, and long-lasting service.

A slant plate clarifier is a type of settler designed to remove particulates from liquid by allowing solids to settle on inclined plates. These slanted plates dramatically increase the settling area in a compact footprint, making them ideal for applications where space is limited but high efficiency is critical.

The clarifier receives wastewater into a feed chamber where solids begin to settle. As the mixture flows upward through a series of closely spaced, inclined plates:

1. Heavier solids slide down the plates into a sludge hopper.
    
2. Clarified liquid exits the top and is collected in an effluent trough.
    
3. The sludge is either pumped or gravity-drained for further processing—typically by a filter press.
    

This design allows for quicker settling, smaller footprint, and more efficient solids removal compared to traditional settling tanks.

• ✅ Increased Surface Area for Settling
  The slanted plates increase settling surface area by up to 10 times vs. traditional clarifiers.
   
• ✅ Small Footprint
  Compact design saves valuable floor space.
   
• ✅ Continuous Operation
  Ideal for continuous flow systems; no batch cycles required.
   
• ✅ Reduced Solids Carryover
  Enhanced clarification leaves your effluent cleaner.
   
• ✅ Low Maintenance
  Fewer moving parts mean longer uptime and lower operating costs.
