Juntai Tube Settler Installation Guide: Precision Engineering for Optimal Clarifier Performance
Step-by-Step Tube Settler Installation Process
Juntai's inclined tube settler systems are designed for seamless integration into water treatment plants, STP tanks, and industrial clarifiers. Below is a detailed breakdown of the installation workflow to ensure maximum sedimentation efficiency and system longevity.
Phase 1: Pre-Installation Preparation
Tank Assessment
- Measure the tube settler tank dimensions (L x W x H) to calculate module quantities.
- Verify structural integrity of supports for lamella tube settler clarifier loads (≥150 kg/m²).
Material Selection
- Choose PP tube settler for corrosive environments (e.g., chemical wastewater) or PVC tube settler media for UV-exposed outdoor installations.
Tool Checklist
- Laser level, stainless steel brackets, epoxy anchors, and non-abrasive cleaning tools.
Critical Installation Parameters for Lamella Systems
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Inclination Angle | 60° ±2° (optimizes sludge sliding velocity) |
| Module Spacing | 50-100 mm between lamella tube layers |
| Flow Distribution | ≤5% velocity variance across tube settler media |
| Anchoring Force | 25 N·m torque for PVC / 18 N·m for PP |
| Post-Installation Test | 24-hour dry run + turbidity calibration |
Phase 2: Installation Best Practices
Frame Assembly
- Assemble stainless steel support grids using laser-leveled alignment. For plate and tube settlers, interlock PP/PVC modules with T-slot connectors.
Module Placement
- Stack lamella tube settler modules at 60° angles, ensuring tongue-and-groove edges are fully engaged. Use silicone gaskets for waterproof sealing.
Anti-Clogging Measures
- Install pre-filters (80-100 µm) upstream to protect pvc tube settler media from debris.
UV Protection (Outdoor STPs)
- Apply Juntai's proprietary UV-resistant coating (0.2 mm thickness) to tube settler in water treatment plant exposed to sunlight.
PP vs. PVC Installation Nuances
| Factor | PP Tube Settler | PVC Tube Settler Media |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Expansion | 1.5 mm/m (require 5mm expansion gaps) | 0.8 mm/m (3mm gaps sufficient) |
| Chemical Bonding | Acrylic adhesives prohibited | Solvent welding recommended |
| Maintenance Access | Monthly inspection for biofilm | Quarterly cleaning (alkaline wash) |
Post-Installation Optimization
Flow Calibration
- Adjust inlet weirs to maintain 0.8-1.2 m³/h·m² surface loading rate for tube settlers water treatment efficiency.
Sludge Management
- Install automated scrapers for lamella plate settler hybrid systems to prevent sludge bridging.
Performance Monitoring
- Use IoT sensors to track turbidity (<5 NTU) and pressure drop (<0.15 bar) in real time.
