What is the tube settler?
Juntai Tube settlers lamella clarifier are mainly used for sedimentation and sand removal in sedimentation tanks. It has the advantages of a wide application range, good treatment effect, and small area. Can be used for water inlet desanding, general industrial and domestic water supply and drainage sedimentation, sewage sedimentation, oil separation, and tailings concentration. Not only suitable for new construction projects, but also suitable for the transformation of existing old pools, both of which can achieve good economic benefits.
What is PP and PVC material?
The standard materials of tube settler material include polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP). PP and PVC are the most used materials in the world to produce tube settlers media. This article will focus on the comparison between PP and PVC lamella separators. Before that, let us first know what is the PP and PVC.
PP material is polypropylene. Polypropylene is a non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless milky white highly crystalline polymer with a density of only 0.90--"0.91g/cm3, which is one of the lightest varieties of all plastics.
PVC is polyvinyl chloride. Using amorphous materials as raw materials, it has super high performance in anti-oxidation, resistance to strong acids, and anti-reduction. It is a kind of plastic that is often used. It is a resin composed of polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizer, and antioxidant. , It is not toxic, but the main auxiliary materials such as plasticizers and anti-aging agents are toxic.
Why is PP tube settler better than PVC tube settler?
Advantages Of PP Tube Settlers | Disadvantages of PVC Tube Settlers |
1. PP material, non-toxic, environmental protection | 1. PVC in PVC residual vinyl chloride monomer, vinyl chloride monomer carcinogenic |
2. PP lamella plate can be used for drinking water treatment | 2. Dioxins may form in the ashes of PVC burning or waste; |
3 . PP inclined plate clarifiers are welded, will not appear loose, long use | 3. Some PVC additives contain heavy metals such as tin and lead, which are high carcinogens |
| 4. anti UV PP inclined tube, longer use time, can reach 5 to 10 years | 4. PVC in the presence of phthalic substances, is also a high carcinogenic substance |
5. PP inclined tube is more economical and healthy | 5. The density of PVC inclined plate settler is below 1.5, and the material is generally black or blue. It is not generally recycled production, so there is no way to control the quality |
6. PP tube settler design and acid salt corrosion | 6. PVC lamella clarifier drawing needs to be bonded with glue, which will become loose and unreliable |
7. After reaching 1mm thickness, the Juntai lamella plate clarifier is stronger and more reliable, and will not block sludge | 7. PVC lamella filters glue also generally can not reach the soft fire standard |
8. The glue bonding process is slow, takes time to dry, and requires more labor | |
9. The glue tends to come loose in the water |
