Flocculation Test Unit
Technical Specification
It demonstrates the removal of dissolved substances by precipitation and flocculation with subsequent sedimentation.First, raw water is produced in a tank to contain dissolved metal (e.g. iron). A pump transports the raw water to the precipitation tank. Here the precipitant is added (e.g. caustic soda). Due to the reaction of the dissolved metal ions with the precipitant, insoluble metal hydroxides form (solids). From here the water flows into a flocculation tank divided into three chambers.
