Settle solids. Achieve reliable wastewater compliance.

Baldwin Industrial Systems designs and fabricates industrial clarifier tanks that separate suspended solids efficiently and consistently.

Each clarifier is engineered for long-term performance, durability, and seamless integration into broader wastewater treatment systems.

What Are Clarifiers?

Essential for compliance. Critical for downstream performance.

Clarifiers play a key role in the treatment process by removing concentrated solids before wastewater enters downstream equipment such as filtration, flotation, or polishing stages.

Effective clarification reduces blockages, lowers maintenance, and improves overall system efficiency while supporting environmental compliance.

Why Clarifiers Matter

Clarifiers (also known as settling tanks) remove suspended solids from wastewater by slowing flow velocity so heavier particles naturally settle.

Baldwin fabricates stainless-steel clarifiers in both conical and rectangular configurations, making transport, installation, and maintenance straightforward.

Clarifiers can also operate as combined reaction and settling tanks, reducing system footprint while maintaining high treatment efficiency.

How Clarifiers Work

Simple physics. Predictable results.

Clarifiers operate by slowing water velocity, allowing suspended solids to settle at the bottom as sludge.

This sludge is periodically removed for further treatment or disposal.

For sites with high solids load or fine particulates, coagulation or polymer dosing can be added to accelerate settling and improve clarity.

Applications

Clarification engineered for Australian industry.

Baldwin clarifiers are used across sectors such as:

  • Mining & resources
  • Food processing
  • Manufacturing
  • Infrastructure & utilities
  • Transport & wash bays

Each tank is fabricated to match site layout, solids load, and treatment capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a clarifier tank?

A clarifier tank removes suspended solids from industrial wastewater by slowing the flow so heavier particles settle at the bottom for removal.

How do water clarifiers work?

Clarifiers reduce water velocity, allowing solids to form sludge. Coagulants or polymers can be added to improve settling performance.

Are Baldwin clarifiers custom-built?

Yes, Baldwin fabricates stainless-steel clarifiers in conical or rectangular designs, tailored to site layout, flow rates, and treatment requirements.

What systems can operate alongside clarifiers?

Clarifiers are commonly integrated with DAF systems, coalescing separators, skimmers, filtration units, pH dosing systems, and control panels to form a complete treatment solution.
