Decanters/Thickeners

thickening decanter

An essential feature in urban and industrial wastewater treatment is the secondary decanter.

The sludge concentration and thickening procedures and the decanting and reduction of the materials take place in these.
A physical sedimentation of the decantable products present in the wastewater then takes place.
The thickening decanter function enables us to reduce the treatment plant’s operating costs.

COMPONENTS

  • Tranquilizer.
  • Thompson perimeter spillway.
  • Intake, outlet and discharge in PVC.
  • Manhole in PP D. 567 (underground decanters).

Optional: lid in FRP for surface decanters.

ACCESSORIES

  • Internal reassuring bell.
  • Perimeter Thompson landfill.
  • Entrance, exit and emptying in PVC.
  • Manhole in PP D.567 (burial decanters)

DECANTERS/THICKENERS

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Thickening decanters are wastewater treatment equipment used to separate solid particles from liquid. The process of sedimentation uses a decanter to create a centrifugal force which causes the particles to settle. The decanter has a bowllike shape with a conical bottom and a rotating screw, or scroll, inside.

The scroll moves the liquid and solid material in a circular motion, allowing the heavier particles to settle to the bottom of the bowl. The decanter then discharges the liquid and solid material into different outlets. The solid material is then sent to a dewatering device for further treatment. The decanter is a costeffective solution for wastewater treatment, as it can quickly and efficiently separate solids from liquid.
