Cross Flow Separators (CFS)
Laminar-flow gravity separation with tilted plate packs.
Overview
Cross Flow Separators establish non-turbulent laminar flow across tilted plate packs, allowing even 60-micron oil droplets to separate vertically. Ideal for FOG-heavy dairy and food processing streams.
How It Works
Process flow and treatment mechanism in simple steps:
- 1
Wastewater enters and flows horizontally through tilted plate packs under plug-flow conditions.
- 2
Oil droplets coalesce on plates and rise for surface removal.
- 3
Settleable solids slide down plates into a sludge hopper.
- 4
Clarified water exits for discharge or downstream treatment.
Applications
