Flocculation reactors

Flocculation reactors for improved flocculation for sludge thickening and pre dewatering

Flocculation of small sludge particles using the addition of polymers is a necessity for efficient sludge thickening and dewatering to take place.

By using flocculation reactors, which give residence times for flocculation to occur of 1-3 minutes during mixing, flocculation can occur completely before the polymer-sludge mixture enters the thickener/dewaterer.

The agitator is designed to eliminate possible ragging problems.

Siljan Allards supplies flocculation reactors, the capacities of which are selected to suit thickeners/dewaterers of different capacities; In the table below, the sizes and retention times of different models of flocculation reactors are shown.
