Focculaion
Flocculation after coagulation, gently stirs to form larger flocs from destabilized particles.
It aids in improved settling during sedimentation, enhancing water clarification.
Its main goal is to agglomerate particles, facilitating easier settling for further water clarification.
Flocculation Components
1- Flocculation Tanks
Provide gentle mixing for floc formation.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like concrete or coated steel.
2- Mixing Equipment
Gentle/Slow Mixer: Mechanical paddles gently mix water for floc growth without breaking larger particles.
Made from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel.
3- Monitoring and Control Systems
Flow Measurement and Control: Monitor and control water flow for desired detention time.
Control systems use instrumentation suitable for water treatment environments.
