Abstract
A clarifier module is contained within a conventional tank-type liquid clarifier having a rotary rake. The clarifier module has a settling region defined by a plurality of inclined parallel plates and a clear effluent chamber separated from the settling region by a partition. Slots in the partition provide communication between the settling region and the clear effluent chamber which contains a weir. Clear effluent is withdrawn from the chamber at a controlled rate and discharged externally of the clarifier tank.
