Clari-Trac-2® Submerged Sludge Collector |
| |
|
| Operating Principle |
| The CT2® operates on the simple principle of gravity. By taking advantage
of a differential head, Leopold has designed a superbly simple but highly
efficient process to remove sludge. Water pressure in the main tank forces
the sludge through the header collector into the outlet piping and away
to the sludge removal trough. Careful selection of smooth bore piping for
the suction header keeps headloss to a minimum for the most efficient sludge
removal and low driving head requirements |
| |
|
| Features |
| Reduced Cost of Operation |
CT2® uses a differential head to push sludge from
the basin, eliminating pumping costs. Cable drives require far less
power. |
| Reliable Operation |
The header, locked onto the guide rail, goes where and
when you want it. |
| Efficient Sludge Removal |
Cable drive pulls the header through the sludge with
a positive motion and minimal sludge disturbance, removing the sludge
without dilution. |
| Simple to Maintain |
Minimal number of moving parts. |

|
| High-Rate Sedimentation
|
| The CT2® submerged sludge collector can be easily installed or retrofitted
into plate settler or tube settler systems. Good quality sludge can then
be removed as raw water conditions demand. |
|
|
| Heavy Sludge Production |
| Long, thin tanks can use tandem headers driven by a single cable system
and control panel. |
|
| Large, wide tanks can be fitted with multiple parallel units to cover
all of the basin area and provide complete coverage. |
|
|
| Different Shaped Basins,
Custom Configurations |
| Multiple units can be used to cover different shaped basins. |
|
|
| Simple Cable Drive Assembly |
 |
The self-tensioning cable drive
unit features simple components, direct connections, solid bearings,
and a rigid frame. It is located above the water. |
|
|
| Sludge Hose |
 |
A sturdy, flexible sludge hose
conveys the sludge from the header and into the outlet piping. |
|
|
| Header |
 |
The sludge removal header glides
over the surface along the full area of the tank, removing sludge
without causing disturbance, maintaining solids content. |
|
|
| Guide Rail |
 |
The header locks onto the guide
rail to prevent disruptive derailments. |
|
|
| Control Panel |
 |
The CT2® control panel
features simple controls. CT2® performance can be optimized to
meet individual plant requirements with available optional control
systems. |
