COAGULATION AND FLOCCULATION
What are dosing systems?
BLUFLOC
Flocculent dosing station
The dosing station is a key component to complete a perfect treatment of wastewater.
It performs the function of speeding up and improving the clarification quality of wastewaters.
The flocculant formula loaded into the station is chosen according to the composition of wastewater to be treated by carrying out a laboratory jar-test at our headquarters.
BLUPOLY
Polyamine dosing station
The technical characteristics of the Blupoly dosing station are the same as the Blufloc described above.
Polyamine (or coagulant) is needed when the smallest suspended solids (micro particles) tend to escape the flocculation process.
It performs the function of optimizing the clarification quality of turbid waters such as synthetic marbles or glass.
The use of polyamine is decided according to the material to be treated by performing a laboratory jar-test at our headquarters.
Specifically, the suspended particles can interact with each other, agglomerating first into microflakes (coagulant) and then into flakes (flocculant).

BLUFLOC F.A.
This flocculent dosing station is fully automatic and is composed by two tanks:
The first is for flocculant preparation and maturation: it automatically fills with fresh water and the flocculent is dosage from the hopper through an auger, to properly mix it.
Once the time necessary for chemical maturation has elapsed, the pump automatically transfers the solution from tank 1 (preparation and maturation) to tank 2 (solution dosing tank).
From tank 2, the solution is injected into the dirty water lifting pipe by means of a metering pump.

FAQ
What's the difference between Coagulation and Flocculation?
In specific, Coagulation and flocculation are two separate processes, used in succession, to overcome the forces that stabilize the suspended particles.
While coagulation neutralises the charges on the particles, flocculation enables them to bind together, making them bigger, so that they can be more easily separated from the liquid.
By gravity, the binded material falls down in the water clarifier cone, ready to be discharged.
What is flocculant for?
Flocculation and coagulation treatment chemicals are used in effluent wastewater treatment processes for solids removal, water clarification, lime softening, sludge thickening, and solids dewatering.
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. In this way we are able to recycle the water making it more fluid, less abrasive, and to protect the working and grinding tools.
What do you mean by flocs?
It consists of finely divided suspended particles in a larger, usually gelatinous particle, the result of physical attraction or adhesion to a coagulant compound.
How does the full Automatic system work?
The first is the flocculant preparation and maturation tank;
It automatically fills with water and pours the flocculant placed in the auger mixing it.
Once the time necessary for chemical maturation has elapsed, the pump automatically transfers the solution from tank 1 (preparation and maturation) to tank 2 (solution dosing tank).
From tank 2, the solution is injected into the dirty water lifting pipe by means of a metering pump.
