SS304 Tube Settling Clarifier Product Introduction
The SS304 tube settling clarifier is an advanced gravity sedimentation system that enhances particle settling efficiency by using inclined tube or honeycomb structures inside the clarification zone.
These inclined modules divide the tank into multiple shallow sedimentation layers, significantly increasing effective settling area while reducing particle travel distance.
This design improves clarification efficiency and ensures stable effluent water quality even under high-load conditions.


Working principle
1. Inlet Distribution Stage
Raw water enters the distribution zone through the inlet pipe and is evenly distributed across inclined tube modules.
2. Flocculation Enhancement Stage
Chemical flocculants are added to form larger suspended particle flocs, improving sedimentation efficiency.
3. Inclined Tube Sedimentation Stage
Water flows upward through inclined tubes while solid particles settle downward under gravity.
4. Clarified Water Collection Stage
Clean water rises to the top and is collected via outlet weirs or troughs for further treatment or reuse.
5. Sludge Discharge Stage
Settled sludge is regularly removed from the bottom to maintain stable system performance.
