Kraus-Fall - Peripheral Feed Clarifier
Hydraulically efficient, the Kraus-Fall Peripheral Feed Clarifier design utilizes more of the clarifier volume than standard clarifier designs. Higher efficiency even at overflow rates in excess of 1,200 gpd/sq. ft. (48.9 m3/m2 day) make the Kraus-Fall Clarifier ideal for installations with wide variations in flow.

- SOR: Up to 1,200 gpd/sq. ft. (48.9 cmd)
- Sizing: 45’ to 120’ (13.7 m to 36.6 m) diameter
- Greater inlet velocity than the rise rate prevents short-circuiting of the flow (vs. center feed)
- Ideal for applications with high infiltration/inflow
- Promotes efficient solids and liquid separation
- Higher allowable overflow rates for peak and variable conditions
- Reduces density currents by introducing the flow near the sludge blanket
- Simplifies design, installation and maintenance.
- Full surface skimming eliminates problems associated with variable width inlet trough or skirt design clarifiers, such as the removal and freezing potential of scum in this area. .
- Creates an even distribution of liquids and solids around the entire periphery of the clarifier with a minimum of head loss. .
- Reduces equipment requirements, including inlet baffle, skirt, trough, and energy diffusion wells.
