Flocculation & Sedimentation
Integrated Floc Formation and High-Rate Settling
Combining engineered flocculation with plate settler sedimentation produces strong, settleable flocs and compact, high-efficiency clarification.
Flocculation & Sedimentation
Flocculation is the gentle mixing stage where destabilized particles collide and grow into larger, settleable flocs. The quality of flocculation directly determines how well the downstream settling stage performs.
Pairing a properly designed flocculation zone with a plate settler creates an integrated, high-rate clarification system. The flocculation stage builds robust flocs; the inclined plates then capture them efficiently at elevated flow.
This combination reduces chemical consumption, improves effluent consistency, and delivers clarification performance in a footprint far smaller than conventional floc-sedimentation basins.
Key Benefits
Strong Flocs
Engineered flocculation builds settleable, shear-resistant flocs.
Compact System
Integrated floc-settle package in a small footprint.
Lower Chemical Use
Optimized floc formation reduces coagulant and polymer demand.
