Coagulant and Flocculant
Viscosity: 20cst
Specific Gravity: 1.3
Coagulants and flocculants are metered in wastewater treatment plants for the removal of solids and part of the secondary and tertiary stage of water treatment. Coagulation is dosed to coagulate solids or group solids together rather than be dispersed in a liquid. Flocculation is then metered to make the grouped solids sink to allow separation of the water from suspended particles.
The particles which sink usually form a sludge which is siphoned from the fluid and pumped away for treatment through another process. The water is then sent for further processing.
North Ridge can offer pumps suited for coagulation and flocculation with the following features:
Shear sensitive – Slow pumping motion and shear sensitive meaning the flocculant is not damaged during flocculation dosing or transfer
Dosing – Pumps suited for dosing Coagulant and flocculant with accuracy higher than >99%
Variable Speed (VSD) – Accomodation of different dosing rates which can vary during spring algae blooms, and differing levels of process activity. Pumps can also be designed for 24/7 running to ensure flocculant is kept in suspension when not being dosed and kept within a closed loop circulation system.
