Lamella Pack

A: Lamellar phase refers generally to packing of polar-headed, long chain, nonpolar-tailed molecules (amphiphiles) in an environment of bulk polar liquid, as sheets of bilayers separated by bulk liquid.

A: A Lamella Clarifier is a type of sedimentation tank that uses a series of inclined plates to separate solid particles from liquid. These plates, also known as lamella plates, are arranged at an angle to increase the effective settling area while reducing the footprint of the tank.

A: The Lamella Clarifier consists of a series of closely spaced flat plates inclined at an angle. Preconditioned water with entrained solids enters the plate pack and flows between the plates. The path length, plate spacing, and angle of the plate are the usual engineering variables.

A: Lamella Plates are generally fabricated from 304 or 316 stainless steel. They can be installed in tanks constructed from various materials, including metal and concrete.

A: A tube settler, also known as a lamella clarifier or inclined plate settler media, is a water treatment device designed to enhance the sedimentation process by increasing the effective settling area. It consists of a series of closely spaced, inclined tubes or plates arranged in parallel.

A: These plates are quite durable, and are 2” wide x 3.375” long, 0.160” thick, weighing 1.55# per 50. An “average” suits weigh 7-8 pounds, and takes 250-300 plates. When laced in a row, 10 plates are required to make a foot of length. Each row will add approximately 3 inches of height.

A: Plate Spacing: Decide on the spacing between the plates. This spacing determines the distance through which the particles settle. Smaller spacing can increase the effective settling area but may lead to clogging. Typical plate spacing ranges from 1 to 3 inches.
