Tube Settlers & Lamella

The Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority required a dual solution for particle settling and sludge removal. Brentwood was able to offer its tube settlers for increased settling capacity and the SedVac system to remove sludge from the basin floor upon settlement. Together, the two systems maximize performance through efficient sludge management.

The Saskatoon project, one of Brentwood’s largest tube settler installations to date, posed an interesting challenge. Being located in northern Canada, there was concern regarding the impact the water temperature might have on the performance of the tube settlers, seeing as it enters the plant barely above freezing. A successful study was completed in 2012 and demonstrated performance consistent with standard installations. This resulted in the plant converting its four large basins to Brentwood tube settlers.
