Why Rectangular Clarifiers are Great Candidates for Optimization

Top 3 reasons rectangular basins are ideal for optimization.

  1. Rectangular basins are not built with flocculation volume - this limits the conversion of non-settleable solids to a settleable form (building a circular clarifier without a floc well is never done).

  2. Flows can be corrected in multiple locations along the axis of the tank.

  3. The inlet hopper and sludge blanket are often vulnerable to shearing force.
