Retrofit Riser Pipe Clarifiers with Tow-Bro® Circular Clarifiers
High performance sludge removal header improves sludge blanket control and settled sludge removal
Tow-Bro® Clarifiers provide high performance sludge removal header while reducing costs. If existing circular clarifiers are the riser pipe or organ pipe type, consisting of V-plows and individual pipes to transport sludge to a sludge box at the clarifier center, the Tow-Bro clarifier can provide significant improvements to sludge blanket control, the balanced uniformed removal of settled sludge, and the elimination of plugged pipes.
- Pipes that plug
- Lack of sludge blanket control
- Maintenance issues due to multiple pipe sludge control
- Internal currents that re-suspend settled solids leading to the reduction of effluent quality
- Uniform sludge withdrawal and pick-up
- Handles higher concentrations of Return Activated Sludge
- Provides single point sludge control
- Improves performance without major structural changes
- Saves maintenance and capital costs
- Lower operating torques
- Greater operator flexibility
