Lamella Separator

Lamella Separator – for optimal sedimentation

the Lamella separator by Nordic Water is the world’s leading inclined plate settler, initially developed at the Johnson Institute in sweden in the early 1970-ies. the Lamella separator is designed to maximise settling efficiency with minimal footprint. Its success is due to a number of factors, such as the unique flow control system, which represents a breakthrough in modern plate separator design and has contributed significantly to the excellent reliability and efficiency of the Lamella by Nordic Water.

In order to comply with different site requirements and corrosive environments, the Lamella Separators are made from different materials, and in standard or customized sizes. We have delivered installations for flow rates ranging from 2 m3/h to 40,000 m3/h and free standing units up to 165 m2
effective area with only 15 m2 footprint.Free standing units: Stainless steel: up to 165 m2 settling area And  FRP: up to 100 m2 settling area

 Lamella plate packs for installation in basins:– Stainless steel or FRP for any flow required
