Tube Settlers

Brentwood AccuPac® 6000-Series Tube Settlers utilize individual, isolated tubular channels, each sloped at 60°, to expand the settling capacity of water and wastewater clarifiers. Engineered with the individual tubes rising in the same direction to eliminate mixing currents and unstable flow patterns. Constructed of flame-resistant, self-extinguishing PVC that is also inert to naturally occurring constituents in water and wastewater. Potable (blue) 6000-series modules are Tested and Certified by NSF to ANSI/NSF Standard 61.

Improve Efficiency

The shape and configuration of the 6000-series modules are engineered to minimize the Reynolds Number and to create laminar flow for rapid settling of solids. This enhanced settling reduces chemical coagulant use and downstream filter backwash requirements. For plant design and upgrading, less settling area is needed.

For use in either circular or rectangular tanks, Brentwood offers standard module heights of 24″ (610 mm), 30″ (762 mm), 36″ (914 mm), and 41″ (1041 mm) in lengths of 6 ft (1829 mm), 8 ft (2438 mm), 10 ft (3048 mm), or 12 ft (3658 mm) and in widths of 1 ft (305 mm) or 2 ft (610 mm). Other sizes available upon request. Available in both potable (blue) and non-potable (black).

Brentwood also offers complete systems including supports, baffles, protective surface grating, troughs, and weirs as required for both municipal and industrial projects.

Non-metallic chain and flight sludge collection systems for rectangular clarifiers are available from our Polychem Systems division.

Structural Integrity
Brentwood 6000-series Tube Settler modules are self-supporting and constructed of prime, rigid, UV-protected PVC. Integrated structural ribs provide substantial loading strength (minimum 250 lbs/ft2 [12 kPa]). The unique design assures a solid interface during installation. Brentwood’s sheet forming and bonding processes ensure tremendous strength and long-term durability.
