AET - Supporting and Anti-Floating Structures

Both supporting and anti-floating structures must be designed for high structural loads of 20 lbs/ft3 or more in tube settler applications. At the same time, the contact area between the supporting and anti-floating structure and tube settlers should be as small as possible to reduce settling area blockages. Additionally, the structure’s geometry should have few horizontal edges to prevent sludge accumulation in those areas. AET offers structural load simulations either for completely new supporting structures or for supporting structure extensions.
