The DensaDeg Clarifier/Thickener is a high-rate solids contact clarifier which combines optimized flocculation, internal and external sludge recirculation, and plate settling in two conjoined vessels to achieve very high hydraulic loading and treatment efficiencies. The proprietary blend of energy input and high volume solids recirculation causes the weight of the sludge to increase more rapidly than its volume.

• The space requirement is usually 50% the size of a comparable solids contact clarifier.
• The unit produces a very dense sludge that minimizes sludge handling.
• Rapid sludge settling and thickening are combined in one tank.
• Operator attention is minimized because there is no need for chemical adjustment.

The DensaDeg Clarifier/Thickener is effective for lime softening of ground or surface waters, tertiary treatment of wastewater, and precipitation of metal hydroxides from waste streams. It can accommodate a wide range of flow rates and solids variations.
