    The Graver lamella clarifier uses removable plates to ensure laminar flow and efficient clarification in a compact design. Flow enters evenly from both sides of the removable plates, allowing for easy maintenance. A customized weir plate collects effluent from each compartment for high quality output. Sludge is stored in an inverted pyramid hopper or integrated mechanical thickener. Graver lamella clarifiers are available as packaged units or built on-site in materials like steel, fiberglass, or concrete for a range of flow sizes.

    Lamella Clarifier

    The Graver lamella configuration ensures laminar flow conditions, which results in hydraulic uniformity and high
    effluent quality. It permits great reduction in the space needed for clarification equipment and allows the compact
    equipment to be located indoors if desired, or to be easily relocated at a later date. It also makes point-source
    treatment not only feasible, but logical for many applications.

    Advantages of the Graver Lamella Clarifier:

    Flow Entry:

    In the Graver lamella clarifier, flow enters form both sides of the lamella
    plate. This allows the feed flow to be equally proportioned, directed and
    distributed to all settling surfaces without impeding the movement of
    solids already settled.

    Removable Plates:

    Individual plates in the Graver lamella are easily removable, even when
    the unit is in operation. This design permits a single operator to easily
    inspect or remove plates without the assistance of mechanical lifting
    devices, making the unit easier to inspect and maintain than competitive
    designs. This feature also offers the flexibility needed to handle
    variations in influent characteristics.
    Wier Take Off:

    A weir plate with custom-sized orfice holes is used to provide more effective collection designs.
    The orifices are positioned so that each compartmnet bounded by a pair of plates is serviced by
    an oricace on each side. This results in more efficient hydraulic conditions and thus higher
    effluent quality.

    Hopper Arrangement:

    Several options are available for sludge storage. The standard arrangement is a four sided, inverted pyramid, hopper
    bottom. A second option is to mount the lamella on top of a mechanical thickener in order to achieve a higher solids
    concentration, while at the same time providing a large liquid sludge storage volume.

    Construction Arrangements:

    Graver lamellas are furnished as a package unit or built on-site of concrete construction. This allows application of the
    lamella clarifier design for flows of any range. Graver has built package units in many different materials. Included
    among them are stainless steel, fiberglass and carbon steel with linings to meet specific service requirements.
    Packaged units dramatically reduce field erection costs since almost every standard unit is shipped in one or two
    pieces.
