- Bubba-proof setup: Built for dependable, fool-resistant performance
02
PERFORMANCE
- Predictable decanting: Combines sludge settling and decanting time to optimize cycles
- Uniform withdrawal: Ensures consistent flow across full width of the decant range
- Self-adjusting weirs: Maximizes flow without disrupting the sludge layer
03
CONTROL
- Single point valve operation: Automatically regulates flow in response to decant rate needs

WHY THE FLOATING SBR DECANTER MATTERS
This is the decanter for plants that want dependable, low-maintenance performance without babying their equipment. No wires, no motors—just smart, floating control that gets the job done.
Additional Floating SBR Decanter Information
Solids Excluding Doors: Keeps solids from entering the decanter head during the fill and aeration cycles. Automatically keeps scum out! Predictable Decanting Can Save Cycle Time. Sludge settling time, and decanting time can be combined to save total cycle time. Want an extra 10% production?
Floating Decanter No need to determine the settled sludge level, since the decanter floats. It is not rotated into the fluid on a predetermined arc. Automatically bubba-proof!
Uniform Withdrawal: Selected units can maintain a consistent withdrawal rate of supernate over the entire range of decant. Across the width! Solid simple systems. No maintenance! Bubba-proof!
Self Adjusting Weirs: Create a definable flow rate, moving the super-critical acceleration into the decanter, leaving sub-critical flow outside of the decanter giving the highest possible flow rate without disruption of the sludge layer. Decants automatically! Dependable hands-off operation!
Floating SBR Decanter — No Electrical-Mechanical Devices Required. This floating decanter self adjusts all variables to produce unloaded supernatant throughout the decant.
Single Point Control Effluent control valve automatically controls adjustments and operations in the decanter head to the demands of the decant rate.

Higher flow rates achieved with multiple heads. 304 Stainless Steel Construction, Sump and Lifting Bracket 12 gauge, Float and Weir 18 gauge. Flow Rate set to a desired rate of decanting normally 3 cubic meters per minute per meter of weir. ANSI Flange Bolt Pattern Standard * Flow Rate assumes at least a 18" head.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the decanter prevent solids and scum from entering?
It automatically blocks solids during the fill and aeration cycles using a floating barrier.
Why is floating design better than rotating decanters?
It eliminates the need to pre-set sludge levels or arcs and adjusts naturally with the water.
Does the system require any electrical or mechanical devices?
No, it operates passively with no electronics or moving parts to maintain.
How does it control the flow rate during decanting?
A single effluent control valve adjusts operations based on decant rate demand.
Can it help reduce total cycle time?
Yes, combining predictable decanting with sludge settling time can save cycle time and increase throughput.
