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:

Aeration Diffuser​ Systems

Fine bubble diffusers are used for aeration and mixing processes in water and wastewater treatment such as activated sludge, post aeration, grit removal and mixing tanks. AET LLC provides Jaeger aeration disc, tube and strip diffuser systems for different applications such as fixed grit, retrievable/ retractable units, pond aerators or turnkey BNR (Biological Nutrient Removal), SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor) or CSR (Continuously Sequencing Reactor) technologies. Compared to surface aerators, fine bubble strip diffusers have many advantages regarding oxygen transfer efficiency, power consumption and lifetime.

Testimonials

AET LLCs fixed bed reactor and IFAS systems provide several advantages compared to non-retrievable fixed film technologies or moving bed reactors (MBBR). We appreciate their engineering support regarding the design of attached growth systems for BOD and nitrogen removal.

We are highly recommending the company AET LLC and their Polypropylene tube settler product. The stability, material properties and anti-clogging effect of their products is superior compared to any other plastic tube settler that we have used before. Also, we are impressed by the service quality of AET LLC

The USF faculty of Civil and Environmental engineering is testing AET tube settlers for USFs own on campus wastewater treatment plant. The on-site assembly was very convenient, and we are very satisfied with the product quality.

We worked with AET on the installation of a tube settler system for a drinking water plant in NY. AETs tube settler system was fast and easy to install, and we appreciate the good communication with their project manager.

We used AET LLC tube settlers in a pilot study and they work well at selecting for filamentous foam and functions as a surface wasting process. To save freight costs we chose to assemble the tube settler blocks on site in Kelowna, Canada. Although we have never assembled tube settlers on site before the assembly was easy and convenient.
