| Conventional Clarifier | A conventional clarifier is a gravity sedimentation tank / settler whose primary end product is a clarified liquid. They are available in rectangular or circular configurations. | ||
| Sludge-blanket Clarifier | Sludge-blanket clarifiers are upflow clarifiers. The water flows upward from the bottom of the clarifier through a blanket of suspended solids that acts as a filter. The clarifier contains an inverted cone that produces an increasing cross-sectional area from the bottom of the clarifier to the top. The upward velocity or the water decreases at it nears the top. At some point the upward velocity of the water balances the downward velocity of the solid particle and the particle becomes suspended. The heavier particles are suspended closer to the bottom while the lighter ones are suspended closer to the surface. As the water containing flocculated solids passes up through this blanket, the particles are absorbed onto the larger floc, which increases the floc size and drops it down to a lower level. It eventually falls to the bottom of the clarifier to be recirculated or drawn off. | ||
| Suction Clarifier | Suction type clarifiers use a vacuum system to collect the sludge from the bottom of the tank. They are used for secondary and final clarification processes. | ||
