Jadair Settler/Clarifier Systems
CLARIFIED WATER, EASY TO HANDLE SOLIDS
JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier water clarification systems clarify your water and bring out the driest solids possible and JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier Systems can be used nearly anywhere liquid and solids separation is required.
Water clarification can be a challenge. Settling ponds have long been the accepted method of handling dirty water. But with this method, despite its expense, water quality is not assured and water losses can be significant. Additionally, short- and long-term consequences to the land can be enormous.
Other industry standard thickeners and clarifiers produce underflow that has high water content and relatively low solids content. The material that comes from all of these sources can be sloppy and next to impossible to handle! Excavators and drag lines are expensive to operate and maintain, they're slow at bailing out ponds, and they're underutilized (doing the wrong job) when cleaning ponds. Wet impoundment dam failures can occur and can cause extensive damage.
All of these problems can be solved with help of a JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier System.
PRIMARY BENEFITS:
The JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier system is a whole new way of looking at water clarification. It puts an end to settling ponds and provides both a continuous supply of clarified water to assure steady production and thick solids that can be handled, like solids! The JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier System clarifies your water and creates superb solids all in one compact platform. No secondary processing and no ponds! Dirty water goes in one end and clarified water comes out the other. The solids are discharged and can be handled easily with a loader or put onto a belt conveyor.
Additionally, JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier Systems can be set up on a permanent or temporary basis. They are portable/semi-mobile so they can be moved easily from one site to another to handle all your water clarification needs. And with low power consumption, a JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier system can be run from a generator. They also come pre-assembled, almost ready to run. Therefore very little onsite assembly is required.
JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier Systems can be used in applications requiring the separation of water and solids. Various sizes are avalable to meet any need. Some common applications include mining, aggregate wash plants, sand wash plants, including frac sand, placer gold mining, dimensional stone cutting, concrete manufacturing processes, agricultural processes including sugar cane and sugar beet washing, fly ash recovery, scrubber fines recovery, and foundries, dredging, and more.
Here's how it works. Water and solids are separated inside the Settler/Clarifier. This separation is enhanced by a proprietary polymer flocculation method. The system is designed to handle a wide range of solids' sizes -- from course to the smallest silts or clays.
Clarified water is then returned to the plant for re-use and thick solids are brought out of the machine and discharged into a containment area (as seen below). The solids containment area in front of each module is typically large enough to handle two or more days' accumulation. Alternatively solids can be discharged onto a belt conveyor and conveyed to a stockpiling area. Some customers also discharge the solids into totes.
The solids themselves are so thick, they can be moved from in front of the machine by a front-end loader (also below) and hauled away in trucks. They are so easy to handle, in fact, that in many areas efforts are made to develop markets for their sale.
Many customers have found markets for their discharged solids so that what once was a waste product, becomes a saleable product instead! Some possible markets for these solids are for use as landfill cover, for soil remineralization on farms and in forests, and for use by landscaping companies in various landscaping applications. Here's an opportunity for you to sell your byproduct for a profit!
In addition to our Settler/Clarifier Systems JADAIRTM also provides polymer preparation and injection systems and chemicals that aid in water clarification. Polymer causes flocculation of the solids in the water which then makes them settle out. When done correctly, proper polymer selection, preparation, and application result in, clear water, appropriate chemical usage, and good solids quality.
We work directly with multiple polymer manufacturers to find the best polymer for your application. Some polymer vendors fail in system design, application or fail to find the polymer that really is the best for the job. Our polymer selection process ensures optimum results and our systems are designed to batch the polymer properly so you get the best polymer reaction and the lowest polymer usage possible.
These systems also come in multiple sizes to meet customer needs. They are included as standard with our JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier Systems but can also be used as stand-alone systems. Either way, Jadair polymers and polymer preparation systems provide superior results that are a critical part of your water clarification process.
HOW IT WORKS:
Quality Jadair polymers can make all the difference in any water clarification application. In JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier systems, these polymers are injected into the water stream just before the water enters the flocculation chamber or the JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier system. After the polymer in injected the dirty water enters the flocculation chamber where flocculation takes place.

The water is clarified as it passes through the JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier system. It is then discharged into a receiveing tank so it can be re-used. Receiving tanks can be fabricated or re-used tanks from other processes.

Solids accumulate in front of the JADAIRTM Settler/Clarifier system and can be easily removed by loader on a daily, or weekly basis, or as convenient, based on operator preference. Belt conveyors are sometimes used to transfer the solids as well. Either way you have no ponds, no mess, and no wasted room.
At this location solids are removed from in front of the machine each morning. The material being moved by this loader was discharged from the JADAIR Settler/Clarifier the day before. How often discharged solids are moved is based on operator preference.
The discharged solids are stockpiled adjacent to the JADAIR Settler/Clarifier. Depending on material and location discharged solids can be sold or used for fill.

We just wanted to let you know how much we like the JADAIR SETTLER/CLARIFIER we bought from your company. We don’t have a lot of water so the Clarifier was just what we needed. We have used it every year since we purchased it. The makeup water requirements are extremely low and the water to the wash plant is always clean. We don’t need any draglines or long reach excavators and we aren’t ruining equipment trying to clean out ponds. Your company has been exceptionally helpful whenever we had any questions. We would highly recommend your JADAIR SETTLER/CLARIFIER system to anyone who is interested in saving the environment and washing gravel in a quality way. If you ever need to show someone the clarifier in action you’re welcome to bring them by. If you ever need a good word said about you let us know. Thanks again!!
