USFilter Expands Line of Water Technology With CSF Plate Separators
USFilter expanded its line of inclined plate separators for removing solids from drinking water, industrial water, and filter backwash water. The USFilter Zimpro Products group announced its latest offering in plate separator technology - the CSF, or channel supported frameless, plate separator.
The CSF system offers several unique features that enhance the hydraulic flow and distribution through the plates and and reduce basin depth requirements by eliminating the need for support beams under the plates.
The CSF separator design, using all stainless steel materials, has been successfully installed at numerous water treatment plants in North America, explains USFilter‚s Marc Roehl, product manager for inclined plate separators. „The CSF line˜along with our traditional line of Zimpro® plate settlers, greatly expands the choices available to our customers,‰ he said.
These separators use closely spaced parallel plates, set at an angle, to provide a vast amount of settling area in a compact space. When compared with conventional gravity clarifiers, inclined plates can often provide as much settling capacity in one-tenth the required area.
