Running the system requires no energy input except for the effluent pump. Maintenance is limited to monthly testing, and cleaning of the separator plates once every six months. Running the system requires no special safety measures. If required, the equipment can be designed to provide a safe environment for treating effluents containing volatile compounds with risk of explosion. Costs Various parameters are taken into account in designing a cross-flow lamellar clarifier.
Operating costs are low.
Additional information Many cross-flow lamellar clarifier systems are presently operating in North America, principally in the petrochemical and metallurgical sectors. The entire system is manufactured in Quebec. These technological fact sheets are based on the information provided by the same organizations that have conceived and perfected the technologies.
