    Armfield: Flocculation Test Unit

    Uploaded by

    Nino Franklin Araujo Jamanca
    This document describes a flocculation test unit that allows laboratory-scale jar tests to be conducted on water samples. Jar tests are used to determine the optimal coagulant dosage, pH, mixing time and intensity needed to remove turbidity and color. The unit has six test vessels with adjustable-speed paddles. Tests can establish treatment conditions before full-scale plant operation and provide information about flocculation rates and settled water quality.

    FLOCCULATION TEST UNIT

    W1

    issue 10

    The equipment is designed to allow the well-known jar tests to be conducted on


    samples of water requiring treatment. The correct dosage conditions to remove colour
    and turbidity may be established on a laboratory scale as a prelude to full-scale
    plant operation.
    DEMONSTRATION CAPABILITIES

    determination of optimum coagulant dosage

    determination of optimum pH

    effect of mixing time and intensity on aggregation

    coagulation tests in conjunction with activated carbon

    DESCRIPTION

    A control panel incorporates the following features:

    Analysis of a water or waste preparatory to the


    design of a treatment sequence often involves
    coagulation and occulation tests, Jar tests, in
    the laboratory. Jar tests are routinely used for the
    control of plant operations and are performed
    by treatment plant operators. The tests serve to
    indicate the optimum chemical dosages for removal
    of turbidity and colour, including such parameters
    as pH adjustment, and the supplemental use of
    activated carbon. Jar tests, furthermore, yield a
    wealth of qualitative information on the rate of
    agglomeration as a function of energy input (paddle
    speed), the settleability of the oc formed, the clarity
    of the supernatant water (which might be related to
    the subsequent length of lter run). Coagulation and
    occulation tests may be used, in conjunction with
    other tests, to study basic processes including, for
    example, the kinetics of reaction and the removal
    of trace constituents from aqueous solution.

    A bench-mounted framework incorporates facilities


    for six tests to be carried out simultaneously.
    The glass occulating vessels stand on a
    translucent base which is illuminated from below.
    Each occulating vessel incorporates a stirrer
    paddle driven by a variable speed drive.
    The paddle assemblies are easily withdrawn for
    removal and cleaning of the test vessels. The paddle
    shafts are made of stainless steel to resist corrosion.
    Paddle speed is accurately maintained by electronic
    feedback control. A digital display clearly indicates
    the speed which is fully variable. Alternatively, the
    use of two adjustable presets allows repetition of
    pre-selected speeds. A digital timer can be set to
    count down from 1 to 99 minutes. After count
    down the paddles stop and an alert sounds.
