Density Current Baffles

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.

Key Benefits
Corrosion Resistance - 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.
