Product Information Bulletin Inclined Plate Clarifiers PIBE1011 Technology Removal of suspended and precipitated solids from water and wastewater is required prior to use, reuse/recycle, or discharge. Typical technologies used for solids removal include gravity clarification, hydrocyclones, pressure filtration, centrifuges, and a variety of membrane methods such as micro and ultra filtration. Gravity clarification is the process of choice for removal of suspended and precipitated solids where the solids loading is heavy, flows are high, simplicity of operation is important, low capital and operating cost are major factors, and a robust, highly reliable process is desired. Gravity clarification is based upon Stoke’s Law, which relates the size and density of the solid particle and liquid viscosity to settling rate of the particle by the following equation: V = 54.5 (SGP-1/0.01)(D x D) where V = settling velocity in cm/s SGP = specific gravity particle in g/cc D = diameter of particle in cm A shape correction of V/0.7
