These units are a game-changer because they reduce the footprint required for sedimentation by up to 90% compared to conventional clarifiers. However, designing one correctly requires precise hydraulic and solids loading calculations.

Where (R_h) is the hydraulic radius of the gap between plates. If (Re) is too high, turbulence resuspends settled solids. This is often the limiting factor for industrial wastewater with high TSS.
[ Re = \fracv \times R_h\nu ]
If you are designing a compact sedimentation system for a wastewater treatment plant, industrial pretreatment facility, or potable water application, you have likely encountered the (also known as an inclined plate settler).
