  • What is coagulation and sedimentation in water treatment?
  • Worldwide, a combination of coagulation, sedimentation and filtration is the most widely applied water treatment technology, and has been used since the early 20th century. For more information about the disinfection portion of the treatment process, see the Chlorination fact sheet. What is Coagulation?
  • What are the design guidelines for rapid mix flocculation and sedimentation?
  • Design guidelines for rapid mix, flocculation and sedimentation are described in Section 5.4 Coagulation and Flocculation and Section 5.5 Clarification. Additional consideration should be given to the following process elements: Aeration - Determinations should be made of the carbon dioxide content of the raw water.
  • What is coagulation & flocculation?
  • Water industries worldwide consider coagulation/flocculation to be one of the major treatment methods for improving the overall efficiency and cost effectiveness of water and wastewater treatment. Enhancing the coagulation process is currently a popular research topic.
  • What is flocculation & clarification?
  • The flocculation and clarification process takes place as the coagulated water travels upwards through a buoyant plastic media. Flocculated solids are trapped in the media. These systems are proprietary and use a combination of hydraulic flocculation, roughing filtration and rapid rate filtration.
