Clarification is an essential step in a water or wastewater treatment process to remove suspended solids through gravity settling, providing a clarified liquid effluent. A secondary function of a clarifier is the removal of floating matter (scum), which has accumulated on the water surface. Removal is accomplished by skimming to a scum collection device such as a scum trough or scum pipe.
Evoqua offers a wide range of clarification solutions, including our innovative ballasted clarification technologies to increase capacity and contaminant removal capabilities, making clarification faster and more reliable in a smaller footprint.
