Clara LongBox (LB) Separator

Clara LongBox (LB) Separators are explicitly designed for efficient sediment, suspended solids and metals removal on stormwater treatment and dewatering projects and the treatment of process water, mine groundwater and wastewater. Available with tube settlers or inclined plates, Clara LB Separators provide excellent removal efficiencies compared to traditional weir tanks and settling or frac tanks commonly used for sediment treatment on unpaved sites and in heavier industrial applications.

Optional Features:

Insulated Separator:  Available as a stand-alone, cold-weather product where the tank is enclosed in rigid, insulated steel panels. Panels are removable, providing access to the top of the tank and equipment spaces around the separator. Heating can be incorporated for cold-weather applications.

Enclosed Top: Features hatches and removable sections to facilitate maintenance requirements.

Inclined-Plate Settlers: Standard equipment tube settling media can be replaced with optional flat inclined plates.

Open Gravity Separator: Available without settling media for applications with a high potential of plugging the settling media.Pilot Test Unit: Try before you buy. Employing a pilot test with a small-scale unit is a great way to see if Clara Separators are the right solution for your facility.
