JMS - Model Mega-Settler -Plate Settler System

TFCA™ Top Flow Control Angle

• Patented feature controls headloss and clogging issues other designs do not address.
• Provides headloss control for even laminar flow to exit, minimizing clogging
• Operators can walk on top of plates for wash-down and service
• TFCA™ angle geometry adaptable to suit water or wastewater applications

Dual Side-Loaded Effluent Troughs

• Addresses the issues of reduced visibility, access to the plates, and velocity accumulations resulting in imbalanced flow.
• Minimizes distance settled water travels to trough, flow across plate remains balanced
• Provides view of, and access to the top of the system

2VNP™ Adjustable V-Notch Weirs

• Adjustable weirs fine-tune water elevations to accommodate fluctuations in plant flow.
• Two V-notch weirs per plate for even flow distribution across all plates

Mega-PROGRAM (Plate Settler Design Program)

• The JMS Mega-PROGRAM is the most advanced and comprehensive plate settler design program in use.
• Thousands of Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System) designs optimized for engineers and municipalities

Two types of lamella sedimentation equipment are currently available commercially, Tube Settlers, and Plate Settlers. Both types of equipment use shallow sedimentation theory to achieve the desired results. Use of Tube Settlers, or Plate Settlers can allow for greater loading rates of the system by expanding the surface area for sedimentation. This allows for greater loading rates, and results in a large reduction in the basin size needed to achieve the same results. It is generally accepted a reduction in settling surface area of 80+ percent can be achieved. Both Tube Settlers and Plate Settlers come with their own set of positives and negatives. Want to learn more about when to Choose Plate Settlers vs Tube Settlers? You can do so on the JMS Learning Center.

TFCA Top Flow Control Angle
JMS TFCA controls headloss and clogging issues that other designs do not address. This JMS only feature also allows for operators to walk on top of the plates for wash-down and service. JMS TFCA also allows for the JMS Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System) to be used in water and waste water applications.

2VNP Adjustable V-Notch Weirs
JMS 2VNP help fine tune water elevations to accommodate fluctuations in plate flow. This JMS only feature also help acquire even flow distribution across all plates.

Dual Side-Loaded Effluent Troughs
JMS Dual Side-loaded Effluent Troughs help address the issues of reduced visibility, access to the plates, and velocity accumulations resulting in imbalanced flow.

Maximizing Space

Increasingly, treatment plants are asked to do more and the need for maximizing what’s available has never been more evident. At JMS, we design our Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System) to best suit any basin geometry and sludge collection system. This approach can dramatically reduce the footprint of a conventional sedimentation basin, often by as much as 50 to 90%. It can also significantly increase the treatment capacity of existing basins while improving effluent quality. Compared to similar out put sedimentation basins without plate settlers, the Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System) requires a much smaller footprint, performs consistently better, is more reliable, and when all capital, construction, and operational costs are factored in over the life of the system can actually cost less.

Simply the Best

Constructed of 100% stainless steel, every JMS Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System) is designed to provide the highest level of efficiency and durability, while minimizing maintenance demands. Our experts continually analyze field data and apply that knowledge to each new system. As a result, we can select the right combination of variables to optimize the performance of your system. The Mega-SETTLER (Plate Settler System) line represents the efforts of JMS professionals with decades of experience in the sedimentation and flocculation industry, all committed to both process efficiency and customer satisfaction.
