Actiflo®

Special ComponentsSpecial Components

• Scrapes the micro-sand and sludge to the centre of the lamella settler

Actiflo® - Sand Scraper

• Transports the micro-sand and sludge from the lamella settler to the hydrocyclone

Actiflo® - Recirculation Line

• Sand pump

– Centrifugal pump with rubber lining

– Controlled flow proportional to inlet (approx. 4-6%)

• Piping

– Made of PE (poly-ethylene)

Actiflo® - Hydrocyclone

• Separates the micro-sand and the sludge by means of the centrifugal force

Sludge

Micro-sandand sludge

Micro-sand

Actiflo® - Lamellas

• Short distance of sedimentation

• Laminar upflow

• Made of plastic

Actiflo® - Dosing of Reagents

• Coagulant

– Dosed directly by pumps

• Micro-sand

– Dosed directly

• Polymer

– Matured in a preparation unit
