0239 Sedimentation Shaft UFT-FluidSettle

Intended Purpose

The Sedimentation Shaft UFT-FluidSettle is a decentralised treatment unit for stormwater runoff prior to discharge into water bodies, especially for small catchment areas with moderate pollution in the separate system.

The shaft works with cross-flow lamella separator technology to achieve a good separation efficiency for suspended solids, also for the fine fraction with grain sizes smaller than 63 μm.

For cleaning, the lamella stack can be pivoted manually around the vertical axis and pulled out before the shaft is emptied with a suction truck.

Properties of the Sedimentation Shaft UFT-FluidSettle

  • low surface loading, thus very high sedimentation efficiency
  • during operation no mechanically moved parts
  • no wear
  • no auxiliary energy required
  • high operational reliability
  • full flow treatment, no separate overflow shaft required
  • can be combined with a downstream filter shaft for further cleaning (e.g. prior to infiltration)
  • corrosion-resistant construction made of waste water resistant PE-HD and stainless steel in commercially available prefabricated concrete shaft
  • minimal upstream backup, no height consumption
  • simple maintenance
