Superpulsator® High-Rate Sludge Blanket Clarifier

Source: SUEZ – Water Technologies & Solutions

The Superpulsator® Clarifier combines basic chemical principles and proven clarification technology in a high-rate, solids contact clarifier that offers maximum efficiency. The unique design combines flocculation and clarification functions in one basin for optimal use of space. Vacuum generated flow pulsations create a homogeneous sludge blanket that results in excellent effluent quality at minimal operating costs.

The Superpulsator® clarifier combines the principles of a sludge blanket and solids contact system into a single, high-rate, clarification unit.
