Clearwater Industries manufactures horizontal and vertical stationary water clarifiers.
Our vertical High Compaction Clarifiers have a comparatively small footprint and achieve solids discharge of +65% solids by weight. The solids material typically dewaters in days and is often conveyed as it leaves the clarifier. The clarifiers feature a high torque electrically driven rake, slick coat interior surfaces, and a sixty-degree cone bottom.
Our horizontal or rectangular clarifiers treat low solids inflows such as surface waters or precipitated solids. These are often used in cooling tower makeup water, reverse osmosis pretreatment, stormwater, and industrial precipitation applications.
STATIONARY CLARIFIERS
Clearwater Industries’ line of high compaction clarifiers produces 50-70% solids by weight underflow and continuous clean water overflow.
The units feature a robust design involving only two moving parts. The first is a high torque electrically driven rake, which ensures homogeneous sludge. The second is a pinch valve that works with bed level sensors to control sludge discharge.
All of our high compaction clarifiers feature a 60-degree cone bottom and slick coated interior surfaces.
The CW1000HC clarifier measures 11′ in diameter and 32′ in overall height. It is capable of clarifying a nominal flow rate of 1000 GPM of process water.
The CW1400HC clarifier measures 14′ in diameter and 34′ in overall height. It is capable of clarifying a nominal flow rate of 1400 GPM of process water.
The CW6000HC clarifier measures 35.6′ in diameter and 56.5′ in overall height. It is capable of clarifying a nominal flow rate of 6000 GPM of process water.
The CW3000 rectangular stationary clarifier measures 59.5′ long and 17′ in overall height. It is capable of clarifying a nominal flow rate of 3000 GPM of process water. It features a screw conveyor that measures 50′ long and 24″ in diameter. This conveyor brings the settled solids to a central flange from where they can be pumped.
The CW3500 rectangular stationary clarifier can handle a nominal flow rate of 3500 GPM. It uses a 25 HP motor with a gear reducer to drive flight conveyors. C102B chain and flights allow 1,800 lbs of force to pull solids up and out of the machine. Overflow from two separators provides process water into the floc chamber. Underflow solids are discharged at the end of the machine. Clean water overflows weirs at the end of the clarifier and is returned to the process. An M-Series polymer system is incorporated into the unit. PLC controls are housed in a NEMA 4 enclosure with a disconnect.
The CW2000LSL treats a nominal flow rate of 800 GPM of low solids inflows, such as surface waters or precipitated solids. These units are tremendous workhorses in cooling tower makeup water, reverse osmosis pretreatment, and industrial precipitation applications.
The CW2500LSL treats a nominal flow rate of 1200 GPM of low solids inflows, such as surface waters or precipitated solids. These units are tremendous workhorses in cooling tower make up water, reverse osmosis pretreatment, and industrial precipitation applications.
Contact a Clearwater Industries sales representative to make your water system dream into a reality. We have a wide range of existing designs that may serve as the perfect backbone to your needs, and we’re happy to start from scratch for your new to market ideas. Two examples of historic custom clarifiers are the CW2000HC and CW4000HC clarifiers pictured below.
The CW2000HC clarifier features two tanks each measuring 11′ in diameter and 28′ in overall height. It is capable of clarifying a nominal flow rate of 2000 GPM of process water.
The CW4000HC clarifier features four tanks each measuring 11′ in diameter and 28′ in overall height. It is capable of clarifying a nominal flow rate of 4000 GPM of process water.
