Description
lamella clarifier for Industrial Wastewater – Heavy-Duty Solids Removal for Manufacturing & Chemical Plants
WHAT IS LAMELLA CLARIFIER
Manufacturing and chemical plants generate complex wastewater streams containing suspended solids, heavy metals, oils, and chemical precipitates. Each industry has its own challenges—metal finishing wastewater contains toxic metals, food processing effluent carries high organic loads, and chemical plant discharge can be acidic or alkaline with variable compositions. Discharging untreated or poorly treated wastewater is no longer an option. Regulations are tightening, and environmental compliance is non-negotiable.
The DAGYEE Lamella Clarifier for Industrial Wastewater is engineered to handle these diverse and demanding applications. Built with chemical-resistant materials and designed for variable loading conditions, it provides reliable solids removal across a wide range of industrial sectors. Whether you are treating electroplating rinse water, food processing effluent, chemical plant discharge, or textile dye wastewater, this system delivers consistent clarification with minimal maintenance.
This system is designed for plant engineers and environmental managers who need dependable performance, low operating costs, and compliance with discharge standards. Its compact footprint, absence of moving parts, and robust construction make it an ideal solution for upgrading existing treatment systems or installing new capacity.
HOW DOES LAMELLA CLARIFIER WORKS

Step 1: Influent Entry
Wastewater enters the clarifier through a feed distribution system. Depending on the application, the feed may have been pre-treated with coagulants, flocculants, or pH adjustment chemicals to optimize solids removal.
Step 2: Upward Flow Through Plate Pack
The water rises between the inclined plates. As it rises, suspended solids settle onto the plate surfaces. The angle of the plates allows settled solids to slide down under gravity, keeping the plates clean and functioning efficiently.
Step 3: Clarified Effluent
The clarified water overflows into collection launders and is discharged for further treatment or final disposal. The effluent quality is consistent, meeting stringent discharge limits.
Step 4: Sludge Collection
Settled solids accumulate in the sludge hopper at the bottom of the unit. The sludge is concentrated and can be discharged manually or automatically for further dewatering or disposal.
Chemical Compatibility
The system can be constructed from materials compatible with the specific industrial wastewater chemistry, including stainless steel grades, coated carbon steel, and engineered plastics for highly corrosive streams.
