honeycomb inclined tube

A honeycomb inclined tube is a modular sedimentation and clarification media used in water treatment systems to improve solid-liquid separation efficiency in water supply and drainage applications. It is commonly installed in sedimentation tanks and clarifiers to enhance the removal of suspended solids through gravity settling. The structure consists of multiple inclined tube channels arranged in a honeycomb pattern, which increases effective settling area while promoting stable flow conditions. During operation, water passes through the inclined tube modules, allowing suspended particles to settle along the tube walls and slide downward into sludge collection zones. This design improves clarification performance in compact treatment units. Honeycomb inclined tubes are widely used in municipal and industrial water treatment projects, including primary sedimentation, secondary clarification, and upgrading of existing treatment systems. They are suitable for applications requiring efficient solid removal and stable hydraulic performance in water supply and drainage infrastructure. Materials such as Stainless Steel and Ethylene-Propylene Copolymer (EP Copolymer) are commonly used due to their corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long service life in water treatment environments. These materials ensure stable operation under continuous exposure to water, chemicals, and varying flow conditions. Overall, the honeycomb inclined tube provides an efficient and space-saving solution for improving sedimentation performance in water treatment systems by enhancing particle settling and supporting reliable clarification processes.
Quality Control


Due to the small hydraulic diameter and large wetted perimeter of inclined tubes, the Reynolds number (Re) is reduced while the Froude number increases, providing optimal hydraulic conditions for sedimentation. The inclined tube sedimentation method has been recognized as a mature technology characterized by high surface loading capacity, small footprint, high efficiency, and easy operation and maintenance.

Our company adopts imported J330 ethylene-propylene copolymer-grade rigid sheets, manufactured in accordance with Ministry of Construction standards for inclined tube systems. These products demonstrate significantly superior performance compared with similar products made from other materials.


Applications and Treatment Performance:

This system is used for grit removal at the inlet of high-turbidity water supply and drainage systems, sedimentation of domestic and industrial water, oil separation, and tailings concentration, among other applications. It is suitable for both new water supply and drainage projects as well as retrofitting and upgrading existing sedimentation tanks in older facilities.

Its main features include a large wetted perimeter and small hydraulic radius, resulting in improved laminar flow conditions where particle settling is not disturbed by turbulence. Its treatment capacity is far higher than that of horizontal flow sedimentation tanks, accelerated sedimentation tanks, and pulse sedimentation tanks.
