Floating Decanter

The floating decanter SBR type is a decanter unit properly designed for Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR) that allows discharging of settled water from the tank.
It is mainly composed of:

• A floating channel with an adjustable weir.
• Discharge pipes located at the bottom of the floating channel.
• An outlet channel to collect and discharge clarified water.
• A hinged scum stop floating pipe system that prevents scum from entering the decanter.
• Watertight supports for outlet channel.
• Support with column rod and control and operation system driven by square thread screw,
• A sturdy electric actuator;

Wall anchored supports for the discharge pipe support.
When the equipment is in a “standby position the weir of the floating decanter SBR type is located a few centimers above the maximum water level in the tank. An ultrasonic level meter continuously measures the level in the tank while water flows inside. When the water reaches the maximum level in the tank, the control panel, complete with PLC if required, keeps the decanter in a stand-by position during the oxidation and subsequent decanting phases.
