longitudinal suction - sludge recovery – SLG clarifier
The SLG rectangular clarifier achieves the settlement and separation of biomass and suspended solids form the treated water. It is a longitudinal flow clarifier with flat bottom. It operates in conjunction with the aeration tanks in the activated sludge process providing secondary treatment.
The scraper mechanism comprises a bridge that automatically travels back and forth. This bridge is equipped with draught tubes.
Sludge is extracted using a negative pressure siphon that is mounted on the bridge, and that transfers the sludge from the collection tank to a side channel.

- Compact solution, ideal for use where land is at a premium, easier to incorporate into a building
- Continuous withdrawal and optimized retention time of the biological sludge within the tanks: better quality of biomass reinjected into aeration tanks
- Optimized inlet distribution and outlet recovery of treated water
- Ease of maintenance due to the travelling bridge
