Coagulation vs. flocculation: Which option is best for your water

Flocculation is the process of encouraging the formation of flocs, or small clumps, from solids in the water. The water is mixed and activated slowly, allowing movement of particles and micro solid throughout the waste water treatment chamber. The aim is to encourage the moving particles to interact with one another and form larger …Web
