Hydroflux Lamella Separators – Efficient Solid-Liquid Separation in a very small footprint
Hydroflux Lamella Separators are designed for high-efficiency sedimentation, providing superior solid-liquid separation in a compact footprint. Ideal for industrial applications, our lamella systems optimise space and performance by utilising inclined plate technology to maximise settling capacity. Our robust stainless steel construction and modular designs ensure durability and easy integration into new or existing treatment systems.
Whether for pre-treatment, primary clarification, or sludge thickening, Hydroflux Lamella Separators offer a cost-effective and low-maintenance solution tailored to your operational needs. Contact us today to learn how our lamella technology can enhance your wastewater treatment process.

The HySEP Solids Separator range is available in the following standard sizes:
| Model | Plate Area* | Flow Rate** |
| CS5 | 6.1m2 | 5 – 10 kL/hr |
| CS10 | 11.5m2 | 10 – 15 kL/hr |
| CS20 | 20.9m2 | 20 – 30 kL/hr |
| CS30 | 31.3m2 | 30 – 45 kL/hr |
| CS40 | 41.7m2 | 40 – 60 kL/hr |
| CS60 | 62.6m2 | 60 – 90 kL/hr |
| CS80 | 84.6m2 | 80 – 120 kL/hr |
* Plate Area projected at 60°
**Flowrate subject to application and plate spacing.
Lamella Separator FAQs
There is no difference between and inclined plate separator and lamella plate separator, it is just the terminology. The plate separator as the name suggests contains inclined plates that increase the effective surface area of the unit allowing treatment in a smaller footprint than a conventional clarifier.
This depends on the type of solids that are being removed and the quality of treated water required. A dose of coagulant and flocculant will certainly improve the solids separation however this is not always necessary.
The Hydroflux CS Lamella range is designed for industrial applications where high solids loads are usually experienced. The spacing between the plates is selected based on the type of solids and the solids load in the raw water to prevent blockages from occurring. That said, “sticky” types of solids can adhere to plates resulting in potential blockages in which case the conventional type of Hydroflux clarifier may be a preferable selection.
The sludge that is collected in the base of the CS Lamella is usually transferred to a dewatering process such as a filter press or screw press.
The standard settling rate use in the sizing tables to calculate the nominal flow for each model is 1 m/hr. Sizing of the units is different for every application as the required settling rate varies depending on the solids that are being removed and the pate spacing.
