OWALamella - Sedimentation unit
OwaLamella is a solution built in a sea container, available in two different sizes: 20 and 40 feet containers. The sedimentation unit separates solids from the liquid by using gravity instead of flotation. Flocculants can be used to improve solid-liquid separation by collecting smaller particles into settleable flocs.
The sedimentation unit enables the effective separation of solids when the impurities in the treated water are not suitable for a flotation-based method.
The flow capacity of an individual unit is approx. 50 – 400 m3/h, which can be increased by adding more units side by side. The quality of the treated water always determines the final maximum capacity.
Examples by industries:
- Mining Industry – process and mine waters
- Mining Industry – valuable side streams
- Constraction Industry – soil conteining waters
