Equipped to Perform in Any Application
Our plate settlers provide a high degree of separation and clarification performance in a wide variety of water treatment applications. Municipal Applications Industrial Applications Filtration Pre-treatment Metal Hydroxide Wastewater Backwash Water Treatment Industrial Process Water Primary and Secondary Settling Pressure / Vacuum Filtrate Clarification Tertiary Treatment Specific Minerals Applications Process Flexibility The SuperSettler™ is available in four standard versions and can also be customized to fit your equipment requirements. Whether used in a concrete basin or steel tank, equipped with a sludge discharge scraper or combined with flocculation, the SuperSettler™ will meet your specific process and application needs.
Model LS Plate Settler
The LS model plate settler is available in eight standard sizes. It
Stand-Alone Units features our specially engineered plate pack combined with a conical sludge hopper in a single tank. Optional items include a flash / floc tank with mixers and a sludge scraper.
Model LT Plate Settler
The LT model plate settler is available in six standard sizes. Each integrates an inclined plate separator with a sludge thickening tank equipped with a sludge scraper. These units are engineered for flows and applications with high solids content and thickened underflow. Optional items include a flash / floc tank with mixers.
Model LP Plate Pack Assembly
The LP model plate pack comes in six standard sizes. These plate packs feature completely submerged plates with a central collection launder. Launders come with submerged orifices or v-notch weirs and
Plate Packs the option of embedment flumes. The versatile LP model is able to fit into most sedimentation basins.
Model LPS Plate Pack Assembly
The LPS model plate pack has launders located on the sides of the plates and incorporates v-notch weirs. The plates extend above the water surface and are individually removable. This is our most economical option per square foot of projected area.

UNINTERRUPTED SETTLING By allowing the liquid to enter the plate assembly through the side, rather than underneath, the SuperSettler™ minimizes disturbance of settled material.
ENHANCED SEPARATION Openings at the top of the plate assembly are designed to create a pressure drop across the collection channels, ensuring that the flow is uniformly distributed between the plates. This patented flow control feature enhances separation performance by utilizing the full area of the plates. SuperSettler™ Plate Pack Unit
