One important factor for the selection of the right type of tube settler are structural loading requirements.
Accumulated sludge in the tube settler channels can add up to loads of 20 lbs/ft3 or more so that collapse is a possibility. To avoid collapsing media, AquaSust supplies reinforced tube settlers with a superior product stability. During manufacturing, single channel profiles are assembled to a media block through a tongue and groove system and heat welding. The resulting assembled blocks have high out-of-plane compression and shear properties comparable to a honeycomb structure. Therefore, AquaSust UV Tube Settlers (in combination with the right support structure) are walkable for maintenance and cleaning purposes.
Clarifier Support Structure
AquaSust provides engineering design support and product solutions for supporting and anti-floating structures for any clarifier tank geometry (including round tanks) and in different materials such as stainless steel, aluminum and PP.
Both supporting and anti-floating structures must be designed for high structural loads of 20 lbs/ft3 or more in tube settler applications. At the same time, the contact area between the supporting and anti-floating structure and tube settlers should be as small as possible to reduce settling area blockages. Additionally, the structure's geometry should have few horizontal edges to prevent sludge accumulation in those areas.
