Coagulation and Flocculation

Industrial wine production generates large volume of wastewater from cleaning


their equipment and machinery which are used to process the main raw materials of
wine production. Also, the water used to clean the raw materials and packaging
materials are also considered as waste water from wine production. As a result, the
effluent from wine production is considered as highly contaminated due to ethanol,
organic acids and sugars. In the primary treatment, an extensive amount these organic
substances are removed upon the detachment of most suspended solid. These
suspended are separated through a process called coagulation and flocculation

The effluent from the grit chamber will proceed to the coagulation tank.
Coagulants such as Alum, ferric chloride, limewater, ferric sulfate, and ferrous sulfate,
help to destabilize the dispersion of the colloids and decrease the turbidity of water.
Through flash mixing, the following parameters are shown below.

Table 1..1: Design for Coagulation Tank

Tank Geometry Cylindrical


Height (with freeboard) 0.8017 m
Tank Diameter 0.2806 m
Impeller Diameter (radial) 0.3 m
Detention Time 30 sec
Rotational Speed 81.8766 rpm
Power Requirement (ŋ= 80%) 43.8738 W

The rapid mixing in coagulation process is use for equal distribution of coagulant
throughout the water with a detention time of 30 seconds. After coagulation tank, the
effluent goes to the flocculation tank. In the flocculation process, the tank is divided into
three compartments which will have different impeller velocities to enhance the
efficiency of flocculation. The table below shows the desired design for flocculation tank.
