Flocculation and Sedimentation
Flocculation and sedimentation are technological processes
to separate the suspended solids used by Warranium Energy
within water treatment cycles to make water safe to drink
or for water reuse. Flocculation and sedimentation cannot
occur without coagulation, and various Warranium Energy’
water treatment chemicals are used to facilitate all of these
processes.
Coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation processes to
enhance the ability of a treatment process to remove
particles in water and wastewater treatment. Coagulation
used to neutralise charges and destabilises the force keeping
collides particles through the chemical reaction between
coagulant and colloids, and flocculation gathers the
destabilised particles together that cause them to
agglomerate as flocs. Essentially, a coagulant is added to
water in order to form a gelatinous mass to trap (or bridge)
particles thus forming a mass large enough to settle or be
trapped in the filter such as dust, earth particles, fish eggs,
etc., into flocs and resulted, these flocs are heavier than
water they settle at the bottom of the sedimentation tank
resulting in the removal of 90% of the suspended matter
from the water.
