One of the more desirable features of the IPC is its compact design. The units easily fit in tight locations with low ceiling height and do not require expensive access platforms for maintenance. With proper chemical pre-treatment, the suspended solids in the effluent are often less than 10 mg\/L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 55-degree inclined plates are slick UV stabilized polypropylene sheets assembled in bundles with stainless steel rods, PVC spacers and fasteners. The plates are locked in at the proper angle and spacing by a unique design that provides both strength and rigidity. The plate packs are designed to be cleaned in place, so maintenance is minimal. Sizes are available from 5 GPM to 1,100 GPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OPERATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The raw water enters the IPC inlet chamber and is immediately dispersed through a non-clog diffuser across the width of the clarifier, which reduces velocities and turbulent flow, and begins the settling process. The flow leaves the inlet chamber under a weir that directs the flow evenly under the plate pack for heavier solids settling. Fines in the water then begin a vertical path through the plate pack and stop their vertical motion, fall downward to the plate surfaces beneath them and descend into the sludge chamber. Clean water flows upward along the bottom of the plates into the effluent chamber prior to discharge via an effluent flange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Westlake Environmental for more information at 616-610-1450 or at sales@westlakeenv.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GENERAL INFORMATION The Westlake Environmental Inclined Plate Clarifier (IPC) is designed for settling solids and precipitated metals.
