ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for clarifying solids from a solids containing liquid having a multilayer baffle system and integral solids removal sump. The apparatus can have a variable speed impeller at its outlet so that an operator of the clarifier can control the flow rate therethrough to optimize efficiency.
The multilayer baffle system includes a first set of baffles placed above the main liquid flow path minimizes horizontal flow thereabove but creates local turbulence so as to promote efficient settling and assure no solids settle on the baffles. A second set of vertical flow interrupting baffles substantially eliminates upward turbulence created the first baffles and are shaped such that solids will not settle thereon. A third layer of baffles interrupts any horizontal flow component remaining in the clarifier so as to define a quiescent zone thereabove. Clarified liquid is removed from the surface of the quiescent zone.
