Chemical manufacturers in Indonesia Vietnam and Malaysia face escalating compliance challenges under updated effluent regulations particularly regarding chemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids limits during batch production cycles. Traditional settling systems cannot adapt to rapid concentration fluctuations risking regulatory penalties and operational disruptions.
Our lamella clarifier systems employ geometrically optimized sixty-degree polypropylene plates to achieve two point eight times greater effective settling area within standard containment vessels. This configuration reduces hydraulic retention time to twenty-five to forty minutes while processing influent chemical oxygen demand levels up to three thousand five hundred milligrams per liter. Integrated sludge thickening chambers increase solids concentration to eight to twelve percent reducing disposal volumes by forty to sixty percent.
A Vietnamese pesticide formulation plant documented operational improvements post-implementation. Effluent quality maintained chemical oxygen demand below four hundred eighty milligrams per liter despite influent variations from eight hundred to three thousand two hundred milligrams per liter ensuring uninterrupted compliance with national regulations. Sludge handling costs decreased by eighteen thousand two hundred US dollars annually through volume reduction and minimized polymer usage. The reinforced structure withstood pH fluctuations between two point five and eleven point zero without degradation.
The system incorporates performance tracking with automated data logging for regulatory reporting. Sensors monitor sludge blanket levels with five millimeter accuracy triggering automated purging cycles when thickness exceeds eight hundred millimeters. Maintenance protocols require only quarterly inspections eliminating daily operator interventions common in conventional clarifiers.
