Erlangen, Germany -- Siemens has introduced the FL Series Flocculator a plug flow reactor type coagulation/flocculation system that consists of a long serpentine pipe of a specific length and diameter.
The term "plug flow" refers to the fact that retention time and/or mixing energy is constant in any given cross section of the pipe. As such, all particles are subjected to the same amount of mixing energy for the same amount of time. This results in a highly uniform floc with excellent separation characteristics.
The main advantages are:
-Both coagulation and flocculation are in one piece of equipment.
-Requires less space than conventional reaction tanks.
-Energy efficiency: no additional energy inputs are required (mixers)
The F Series Flocculator is often used instead of conventional chemical reaction tanks and mixers. Capacities range from 15 to 2000 gallons per minute.
