Background for a Lamella Inclined Plate Clarifier Design Spreadsheet

For information about making calculations for an activated sludge secondary clarifier, see the post  Activated Sludge Secondary Clarifier Design Spreadsheet, Instead of an activated sludge secondary clarifier, this post is about a lamella inclined plate clarifier design spreadsheet.  An inclined plate lamella clarifier obtains more settling area for the same footprint by using a set of inclined plates in the clarifier as illustrated in the following schematic diagram for a lamella inclined plate clarifier.

Potential values for some of the design parameters for a lamella inclined plate clarifier are shown in the following table:

Potential Values for Design Parameters:
