Continuous Flow
Flash Mix and Flocculation Systems
Equipment Overview
 Flash
mix and flocculation refers to the process by which fine
particulates are caused to clump together into larger "flocculated"
particles. The floc may then float to the top of the liquid, settle
to the bottom of the liquid, or depending on it's characteristics
remain suspended. Depending on the results, the solids can be
separated by the use of a sedimentation clarifier, a flotation
system or filtration system.
Flocculation is widely used and applicable in
sewage treatment systems, stormwater treatment and treatment of
other industrial wastewater streams as well as purification of
drinking water.
The Hydro-Flo
continuous flow Flash mix and flocculation systems are typically used after a
single or multi
stage chemical reaction system. Our flash floc systems are designed to achieve two goals.
First, in the flash chamber, the injected polymer will be
vigorously mixed with the process or wastewater to insure
complete dispersion throughout the entire stream. This
will improve overall contact between the flocculent and the
wastewater improving treatment quality and reducing overall
chemical consumption.
Second, the floc tank gently mixes the contents allowing the
flocculated particles to grow in both volume and mass allowing
easy removal by downstream clarification equipment
(sedimentation or floatation). |
