Tube Settler Systems

Tube settlers which are also known as plate settlers, inclined plates or lamella clarifiers are used in drinking water and wastewater treatment to improve particle settling in sedimentation processes. AET LLC provides tube settler systems including support structures, tube settler blocks as well as sludge removal and effluent launders. AETs wide range of tube settler / plate settler types offer different channel sizes and shapes, Polypropylene and PVC material as well as onsite assembly options. Finally, the tube settler/ plate settler systems are also available as plug and play standalone units.

Biofilm Wastewater

AET LLC provides biofilm attached growth systems for BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and nitrogen removal from wastewater. The retrievable fixed film media units can either be designed as single pass (fixed bed reactor) or as return sludge IFAS (Integrated fixed film activated sludge) systems. AETs fixed bed reactor system is available as retrievable, drop-in units or as plug and play stand alone tanks. To learn more about how fixed bed reactors and IFAS system work please find a video explanation here:

Clarifier Sludge Removal

AET offers sludge removal systems for various applications, including clarifiers. Our chain & flight scraper system for rectangular clarifiers is made from high-quality, non-corrosive components, featuring high-grade plastic and stainless steel for durability and reliability. AET also supplies chain & flight mechanisms, motorized scum removal pipes for floating sludge, and rotary scraper mechanisms for round clarifier basins. Additionally, AET provides flocculation devices, catwalks, and controls, ensuring comprehensive solutions for sludge management.

Wisconsin, USA​

AET LLC retrofitted a sedimentation basin for coal and sand removal with new Polypropylene, equidistant tube settlers. The prior used PVC tube settlers were heavily damaged after only 5 years of operation because of a wide range of impacts such as high solid concentrations and abrasive materials.​

Maryland, USA​

AET LLC in cooperation with Jaeger aeration provided a turnkey fixed bed reactor system for BOD and ammonia removal for wastewater from a chicken slaughterhouse.​

Calgary, Canada​

ET LLC retrofitted an existing sedimentation tank for solid settling in a mining application. Also included in the scope of supply was an extensive engineering design and CFD simulation to improve the flow pattern inside the sedimentation tank.​
