    FC Maximizer Model Dimensions and Capacity

    Use this table to compare preliminary installation dimensions and flow ratings across the FC Maximizer line. Diameter A and height B correspond to the labeled dimensions in the side-view diagram below.

    The two flow columns describe different operating references. Total hydraulic flow is the clarifier's full hydraulic capacity. Flow including 25% recycle is the real-world process flow after reserving capacity for the recycle stream. For example, the FC 700 is rated at 11,950 GPM total hydraulic capacity and 8,850 GPM with 25% recycle.

    How the FC Maximizer Is Arranged

    These reference diagrams identify the primary collection, skimming, level-control, recycle, and discharge components used in a typical FC installation. Project drawings are engineered for the selected model and site.
