Clarification & Solids Separation

Coagulation/flocculation concepts, sedimentation, flotation, sludge and dewatering.

How coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and flotation support particle removal.

Destabilize fine particles so they can be separated more effectively.

Gentle mixing that encourages destabilized particles to form larger flocs.

How particle destabilization and growth work as linked but different stages.

Use gravity settling to separate denser solids from water.

Use density differences to separate settleable solids, grit or other phases.

Use fine gas bubbles to lift selected solids toward the surface.

Electrical destabilization and separation concepts for selected industrial wastewaters.

The solids stream created when contaminants are transferred out of water.

Reduce water content in sludge to make handling and disposal more practical.
