Three-phase separation for highest efficiency
 
The operation of tangential separators in water treatment is designed for the different flow behavior and density differences of water, light liquids and sediments. Simple separators separate the sediments from the liquid by sinking. By applying centrifugal and radial forces, the tangential separator is able to separate light liquids and sediments (the latter up to a particle size of 5 µm) simultaneously.

The special effectiveness of LK tangential separators is based on their three-phase separation, consisting of light phase, clean water phase and sediment phase, as well as a double-acting oil extractor. The high design allows small footprints, so that the separator can be integrated even in confined spaces.

In addition, LK tangential separators are ideally suited for pretreatment for subsequent filtration or further water treatment stages; in this function, they can usually be retrofitted to existing plants without complications. This is an option especially if the aim is to effectively relieve the subsequent procedures. In conjunction with the light liquid separator, the tangential separator ensures maximum reliable separation of heavy and light phases – especially in the case of high dirt loads and media that are difficult to separate.
