COAGULATION AND FLOCCULATION DESIGN
SCREENING
SEDIMENTATION
AERATION
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.
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.
Coagulation Tank:
Q= 100 m3 / day
t=30s
Temperature= 200C
viscosity=1011.4996×10-6 Pa.s
ρ= 997.2113 kg/ m3
G= 1000/sec
Solution:
V=Qt= (100m3/day)(30/86400)day
V= 0.0347m3
P=(1000/s)2 (1011.4996×10-6Pa.s)(0.0347m3)
0.8
P=(1000/s)2 (1011.4996×10-6Pa.s)(0.0347m3)
Let H/T =2
V= (π /4) (T2)(H)
T= 0.2806 m
H=2T=2 (0.2806 m)
H= 0.5612 m
B=1/3 (H)
B= 1/3 (0.5612 m)
B= 0.1871 m
H= 0.7 HT
HT = 0.8017 m
D=0.3 m
N= 1.3646 rps
N= 81.8766 rpm
Flocculation Tank:
Given:
Q= 100m3 / day
t=30s
H=3.6 m
L:W ; 4:1
Solution:
V=50((30s)
V= 0.4167m3
V=A×H ;
A= .0386m2
L=4W
0.0386 =4W × W
.0386= 4W2
W= .0982m
L=.3929m
V = (π /4) (T2)
T= .2217m
B=1/3 (3.6)
