The Megacell is our rectangular DAF with lamella plates inside. It is designed to handle high solids loading and high flow rates and offers increased surface area due to the presence of the lamella plates. It has a chain and scrapper mechanism which pushes the top layer of scum to one end which is later removed with the help of a paddle wheel. The bottom conical shaped hoppers store the settled sludge which are removed periodically from the system with the help of timer activated purge valves.

The floated scum is pushed to one side with the chain and scrapper mechanism and the paddle as wheel removes the scum from the top. It is designed to have a retention time of 7-10 minutes. It can handle a range of flow rates as low as 10 m3/hr up to over 1000 m3/hr in a single unit.

Megacell started out as a revolutionary DAF to increase the efficiency of the recovered fiber in paper mills. After several successful installations it is now running in various industries, most popularly for sea water desalination applications.
