Tube Settler (Inclined Tube Sedimentation Tank)
The tube settler installs honeycomb inclined tubes in the settling zone. Based on the shallow-tank settling principle, it enlarges the settling area and shortens particle settling distance, significantly improving settling efficiency. With a simple structure, low investment and stable operation, it is widely used for solid-liquid separation in water supply and wastewater treatment, and is one of the most common sedimentation devices in water treatment engineering.
The inclined-tube sedimentation tank is a solid-liquid separation device that, based on conventional sedimentation tanks, installs honeycomb inclined-tube media in the sedimentation zone and uses the shallow-tank sedimentation principle to improve sedimentation efficiency. It is one of the most commonly used sedimentation devices in water and sewage treatment.
Working principle: according to the shallow-tank theory, the sedimentation zone is divided by honeycomb inclined tubes into multiple shallow sedimentation units, greatly shortening the particle settling distance and significantly increasing the settling area. Suspended solids settle rapidly onto the tube walls and slide down to the tank bottom, while the clarified water rises, is collected, and is discharged through the collection trough.
The equipment offers high sedimentation efficiency and large surface loading, with a small footprint and low investment. The honeycomb inclined tubes are lightweight, high-strength and corrosion-resistant. It operates stably, is easy to maintain, and adapts to a wide range of water qualities.
It is widely used in water treatment, sewage treatment, industrial wastewater treatment and various solid-liquid separation applications.
