Studies by the U.S. EPA and others show that density currents form in all activated sludge secondary clarifiers, regardless of size and shape, and have a significant adverse effect on clarifier performance. The new Stamford Density Current Baffle System 2.0 is specifically designed to intercept and dissipate these currents and redirect their flow back into the main clarification volume of the tank, increasing hydraulic capacity and producing as much as a 50% reduction in total suspended solids.
