What We Do
Coagulant Testing
Jar Testing: Jar stirring services involve conducting jar tests with various coagulants to determine their effectiveness in destabilizing particles and improving water clarity.
Dosage Optimization: Different dosages of coagulants are added to
individual jars containing water samples from the treatment site. The samples are then stirred to simulate mixing in a full-scale treatment plant.
Observation and Analysis: The floc formation and settling characteristics are observed over time to determine the optimal coagulant dosage for achieving the desired water quality goals, such as turbidity reduction and particle removal.
Comparative Studies: Jar stirring services allow for comparative studies between different coagulants to identify the most cost-effective and efficient treatment option for a specific application.
Flocculant Testing
Jar Testing: Similar to coagulant testing, jar stirring services are used for flocculant testing to assess the effectiveness of various flocculants in promoting particle aggregation and settling.
Jar Design: Specialized jars with multiple compartments are often used to test different flocculant dosages simultaneously and compare their performance.
Flocculation Dynamics: The jar test apparatus simulates the flocculation process by subjecting the water samples to gentle agitation, allowing researchers to observe the formation and settling of flocs over time.
Optimization and Selection: By testing different flocculant types and dosages, jar stirring services help optimize treatment processes and select the most suitable flocculant for achieving the desired water quality objectives.
Data Interpretation and Reporting:
Data Collection: During jar stirring services, data such as turbidity, pH, and settling velocities are measured at regular intervals to assess treatment performance.
Analysis and Interpretation: Experienced technicians analyze the test results to determine the effectiveness of coagulants and flocculants under various conditions and recommend optimal treatment strategies.
Report Generation: A comprehensive report summarizing the jar test results, including recommended coagulant/flocculant dosages and treatment parameters, is provided to the client for further evaluation and implementation.
Composite Flocculants
Hybrid Polymers: Composite flocculants combine inorganic and organic components to achieve enhanced flocculation performance. These hybrid polymers may incorporate metal ions, such as aluminum or iron, along with organic polymer chains to improve floc formation and settling properties.
Inorganic-Organic Blends: Blends of inorganic and organic flocculants
are sometimes used to optimize flocculation processes in specific water treatment applications, tailoring the formulation to the characteristics of the water and the contaminants present.
Specialty Flocculants
High Molecular Weight Flocculants: Specialty flocculants with exceptionally high molecular weights are used in applications where rapid settling or dewatering is required, such as sludge dewatering and solid-liquid separation processes.
Rapid Flocculants: Some flocculants are designed for rapid
flocculation kinetics, allowing for faster particle aggregation and settling in high-rate clarification processes.
