Flocculator
Colloidal and emulsied particles are too small to be removed by otation or sedimentation and most ltration systems. To remove them by these systems they have to be forced to form bigger, oc-like, particles. This is achieved by a process called coagulation-occulation by adding chemicals to the water in a occulator (explained in our CFF process brochure).
The mixing energy distribution is constant at any given point in a pipe cross section, which is ideal for oc formation: Chemicals are quickly ideally mixed and the resulting ocs have the same size and strength: Consistently big ocs, that are easy to separate. For proper oc formation the ow rate has to be kept within a certain ow range, since both the mixing energy and retention time are a direct result of the ow rate in the pipe occulator. This usually requires the application of a buer tank prior to a pipe occulator.
CSTF
In Continuous Stirred Tank Flocculators, the mixing energy is created by active top mounted mixers that are installed in individual reactors with a certain volume. The necessary retention time and mixing energy for each process step is achieved by applying a certain reactor size and mixer size. The actual mixing energy input in a CSTF is not xed, it can be adjusted to the ow rate, giving a CSTF very wide operational range without the need to apply a buer tank prior to the occulator. The operational range of the CSTF is only limited by the reactor size that determines the retention time.
Working principle
Flocculators provide the mixing energy and retention time required for oc formation. The resulting ocs have more variations in size and strength since the mixing energy varies with the distance to the mixer in the reactor.
PFL
Pipe occulator are passive systems without moving parts, where the mixing energy for the dierent oc formation process steps are created by variations in the pipe diameter in the occulator, while the required retention time for the dierent process steps is obtained by varying the pipe length.
