CIRCULAR GRAVITY CLARIFIER AND METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is a circular gravity clarifier and method of clarifying liquids having entrained droplets and solids. The clarifier has an upright cylindrical body (10), a cylindrical baffle (16) extending substantially the depth of the body forming an annular flow path (18), and a rotating stilling well (20) into which the liquid to be clarified is introduced. The liquid first flows downwardly in a generally cone shaped pattern, the liquid droplets rising to the surface where they are removed and the clarified liquid flowing upwardly in the annular flow path and being discharged.
