The iHB integrated lamella clarifier has been designed and developed as an all-in-one treatment with integrated chemical reaction tank and hopper bottom settlement tank. It provides a reduced footprint and cost compared to the use of individual items, and also reduces installation time on site.

The integrated units are also suitable for pilot trials to obtain data using real wastewater to confirm performance, chemical dose rates and sludge production. This data is critical to optimise full scale designs so although the main plant may be designed on paper, the pilot trials allows for data to be provided to optimise the full-scale plant.

Capacities

The iHB range is available with settlement area capacities of 10, 20 or 40m2. The 20 and 40m2 versions also include rake equipment to gently move settled sludge, minimising potential for “ratholing” and also slightly thickening the sludge.
