SKS LAMELLA CLARIFIER
Efficient sedimentation in compact units
SKS lamella clarifiers are compact, ready-to-connect Advantages of our SKS series
units for the separation of solids from liquids. They work • Better removal efficiency than conventional parallel plates
according to the tried-and-tested counter-flow principle. thanks to TUBEdek® modules
• Volumes and surfaces are perfectly coordinated
Thanks to our TUBEdek® lamella packs, the removal • Low installation costs
efficiency of the SKS separators is extremely high. The • Tiniest footprint
individual SKS lamella clarifiers modules with sedimentation • Sludge drainage through hydrostatic pressure – no pump
surfaces from 18 m2 to 33 m2 can easily be connected energy required
in series and/or parallel to fulfill a wide variety of • Low maintenance
sedimentation tasks. • Low construction height – from 2.75 m
Our modular free-standing clarifiers can be tailor-made
for your application.
The modular design allows cost savings and a high level
of flexibility when a system needs to be modified or
expanded.
OUTSIDE: RUGGED CONTAINERS –
PLASTIC, COATED BLACK STEEL OR
STAINLESS STEEL
The SKS consists of a rectangular container with a bottom
hopper as sludge collection tank. The container is equipped SKS lamella clarifier from ENEXIO
with TUBEdek® modules for sedimentation and drain
channels or pipes for the clear water as well as flanges for
the inlet, outlet and sludge drainage.
Free-standing separators by ENEXIO are divided into
five sections:
1 Inlet area
2 Thickening and sludge storage zone 1 4
3 Separation zone with TUBEdek® lamellas
4 Clear water zone with drainage channel(s) or pipes
5 Sludge discharge

The inlet takes place via a wide channel in the middle of
the container. There the stream calms, flows downward
and rises again through the lamella packs. If several SKS are
connected in series, perforated insert pipes distribute the
water evenly over the length. In the separation section, the
solids settle and slide downward on the slanted surfaces of 3
the TUBEdek® lamellas. There, in the thickening and storage
zone, they accumulate and thicken further. The clear
phase flows from the separating section upward. Above
the clear water zone, the drainage takes place via channels
with serrated weirs or via perforated (immersion) pipes.

The separated sludge is removed from the sump of the
thickening zone. This needs to be done at regular intervals.

Transport and installation
The dimensions of the SKS lamella clarifier are optimized so
that it can be transported effortlessly on a truck, in a lying
position, or in a container. The SK separators are equipped
with lifting eyes that allow unloading and setting up with the
aid of a crane.

INSIDE: TUBEdek® LAMELLAS FOR
AN EFFICIENT SEDIMENTATION
The heart of it is inside the container: our TUBEdek® lamellas. The great
number of equally spaced sedimentation levels of the lamella pack ensure
a reliable separation process and provide the system with its high hydraulic
capacity.
The V-shaped channels support sludge removal. In actual practice, the
TUBEdek® lamellas have proven themselves many times over, whether in
container construction or used in large systems. We offer TUBEdek®
the tried-and-tested product in plastic as well as in stainless steel, analogous FS41.50
to the container material.
