Lamella
Lamella (Tube Settlers) technology is a technological product, which is used in the precipitation and flotation operations, in the water and wastewater systems. Although , it had been known as engneering product 100 years ago, it had not been used because it could not be developed product in practice.
Nowadays, lamella technology which is used common anew, provides many superiority and it has found a wide usage area.
Lamella technology has given successful results at obtaining the best outgoing water quality, by providing laminar flow conditions, in water and wastewater purifying systems and in flotation and precipitation operations.
At the present time in which purifying of water and wastewater have gained importance, advanced technologies have gained effectiveness importance. Lamella technology has decreased investment costs and increased the yield.
In Turkey, the first time, lamella tube technology that has been made its production from the PP or PVC material, has found a wide usage area, in the water and wastewater purification projects.
Lamella is used with intent to separate solid matters and floating matters from fluids. In general, he parts, which have dimensions 50 micron and greater, are separated from water by themselves via precipitation, but, with the intent to separate the smaller parts from water, the methods of precipitation having floc, are used.
By increasing effective area by means of lamella technology, high yield is obtained. Beside this, higher capacities are obtained with small investments.
