How they work
High velocity influent passes through the separator, which is designed to produce a circular flow pattern. Using gravitational force, sand, debris and sludge migrate to the separator’s side walls and downward, into a solids holding chamber. Cleansed effluent rises up, through the vortex and is returned back to the system. Subsequently, the separated solids are purged from the holding chamber, continuously, manually or automatically, depending on what type equipment is utilized.
