Broad Range of Industrial Capabilities
Oil Recovery - Separated oils, process fluids and other floatable materials are guided to an accumulation area for easy removal and reclamation. An adjustable overflow weir or a Monroe Oil Skimmer can be included to remove these elements.

Separated Solids Removal - Where the dirt load is heavy, a drag conveyor may be included to provide continuous removal of settled solids from the bottom of the clarifier.

Cone bottom construction is sometimes recommended for non-draggable solids.

Chemical Treatment - The Monroe Parallel Plate Horizontal Clarifier can include a pre-treatment process as an integral part of the basic clarifier. This aids in the separation of dissolved solids, very fine particles and emulsified oils that tend to remain suspended in water or process fluids. A chemical treatment tank and/or flocculation chamber can be added to allow pH control and mixing of emulsion breakers and coagulants into the influent before the laminar flow process.

Laminar Flow Principle
The unique design of the Monroe Parallel Plate Horizontal Clarifier creates laminar flow conditions and allows gravitational forces to separate the lighter and heavier elements from the fluid.

Normally, industrial laminar flow separation requires settling areas beyond practical space availability in typical manufacturing plants.

Monroe's design engineers, however, have eliminated this problem through the unique capabilities of the Parallel Plate Horizontal Clarifier.

Parallel Plate Clarifiers

Special Features
Wide range of construction materials. Mild steel, special coatings, stainless steel, fiberglass, plastics and other materials are available to meet specific needs.

No moving parts in the clarifier section reduces equipment cost and practically eliminates operating cost when compared with centrifuge separator.

Easily removable laminar plates. The unique, modular design of the Monroe Parallel Plate Horizontal Clarifier allows easy removal of individual laminar plate modules from the clarifier for inspection. Complete electrical controls to meet customer requirements are available if required.

Many Configurations Available
Monroe Parallel Plate Horizontal Clarifier complete package systems are available including mixers, chemical feed pumps, instrumentation and electrical controls.
