Key Benefits:

Corrosion Resistant:   Unexcelled in resistance to corrosion.

Precision Molded:    Molded to the exact shape of the clarifier.

Light Weight:    Permits easy installation without special lifting equipment.

Separate Support Brackets:   Strong, light and easy to handle during installation.

  • Also known as "Stamford Baffle", "Submerged Flow Deflection Baffle" or "Upflow Baffle"
  • Tests show that the installation of density current baffles in new or existing clarifiers can improve performance by up to 38%.
  • They eliminate the "wall effect", whereby density currents flow up the wall of the clarifier, causing suspended solids to flow directly into the effluent trough.
  • The baffles are attached to the wall of the clarifier and slope downward at a 45° angle, extending into the tank approximately 3 feet. This re-directs the density currents away from the launder, towards the center of the tank, which increases efficiency by settling more solids.
  • Warminster Fiberglass is, by far, the World's leading manufacturer of density current baffles.
  • Our design, which incorporates separate, pre-assembled, frp brackets, insures easy and accurate installation.
