A tube settler is a water treatment device installed in a settling tank and consists of a series of inclined tubes used to improve settling efficiency.

It accelerates the settling process of solid particles by increasing the settling area and reducing the distance the particles sink.

Key benefits include increased treatment capacity, reduced sedimentation tank area requirements, improved sedimentation efficiency and reduced chemical requirements.

Common materials include PVC, PP (polypropylene) and FRP (fiber reinforced plastic).

Selection requires consideration of factors such as treatment flow rate, water quality characteristics, space constraints and budget.

Widely used in tap water treatment, industrial wastewater treatment and municipal sewage treatment.

It is necessary to ensure that sufficient space is available for installation and that the installation is carried out correctly according to the manufacturer's instruction manual.

Regularly inspect and clean the pipes to prevent clogging and scale buildup and to ensure optimal efficiency.

While theoretically possible, tube settlers designed by specialized manufacturers usually perform better and are more reliable.

The total area required is calculated based on the flow rate to be treated and the expected settling efficiency, which is then converted to the corresponding number of pipes.

The angle of inclination affects the settling speed and efficiency of solid particles, and the angle is usually designed around 60 degrees to optimize performance.

Usually insensitive to water temperature, but extreme temperature conditions may affect the physical properties of the material.

Yes, tube settlers are often used to upgrade existing facilities to increase treatment capacity and efficiency.

Prices vary by material, size and manufacturer

Cleaning is usually done with plain water, avoiding strong acids and bases that may damage the material.
