Tube Deck Media
Tube Deck Media helps your clarifier tank settle suspended solids faster and more effectively, without needing a larger tank. Sawen Group offers durable tube deck media designed to improve settling capacity and clarified water quality across STPs, ETPs, and water treatment plants.
What is Tube Deck Media?
Tube Deck Media is a modular arrangement of inclined tubes installed inside settling or clarifier tanks to improve solid-liquid separation. These tubes work by increasing the effective settling surface area within the tank, allowing suspended solids to settle faster without requiring any additional tank space.
This makes tube deck media a practical addition for secondary clarifiers in STPs, settling tanks in ETPs, and clarifiers used in general water treatment processes.
Why Tube Deck Media Matters for Settling Tanks?
Conventional clarifiers are limited by their available settling surface area. Once a tank reaches its settling capacity, water quality at the outlet starts to suffer, and expanding the tank isn't always practical.
| Problem | Effect on Settling | How Tube Deck Media Helps? |
|
Limited settling surface area in tank |
Reduces solid-liquid separation efficiency |
Increases effective settling area through inclined tube arrangement |
|
Need to increase clarifier capacity |
Expanding tank size is costly and space-intensive |
Improves capacity within existing tank footprint |
|
Poor quality clarified water |
Suspended solids escaping with treated water |
Improves settling efficiency, resulting in clearer outlet water |
|
Space constraints for new clarifier |
No room for additional settling tanks |
Retrofits into existing tanks without major civil work |
|
High sludge carryover |
Inefficient settling leads to excess solids in outlet |
Reduces carryover by allowing solids more settling contact area |
For most facilities dealing with settling issues, adding tube deck media is a far more practical fix than building a new, larger clarifier.

Technical Overview - How Tube Deck Media Works?
The settling principle behind tube deck media is straightforward: inclined tubes shorten the distance particles need to travel to settle, allowing solids to settle out much faster than in an open tank.
| Stage | What Happens? |
|
Water enters tube deck zone |
Flows upward or across through the inclined tube modules |
|
Solids settle within tubes |
Shorter settling distance allows faster particle settling |
|
Settled solids slide down |
Solids slide down tube surface and collect at the tank bottom |
|
Clarified water exits |
Cleaner water flows out from the top of the settling zone |
Tube angle and spacing are key design factors here. The right angle allows settled solids to slide back down smoothly instead of getting stuck, while proper spacing ensures good flow distribution across all the tubes.
