Flocculation
Advantages
- Fast real time measurements in flocculation processes. Seize the opportunity to optimize the process and avoid clogging of filters
- Fast and accurate analyses of size, size distribution and shape of flocs
- Fast and accurate evaluation of effectiveness of a process by classifying flocs vs. small free-floating particles.
- Track how flocs are progressing over time
- React fast to changes in the process
- Continuous monitoring with image analysis
- Real time measurements of both batch- and continuous processes
- Portable and versatile solution
Case study
A waste management company use ParticleTech Solution to continuously evaluate the effectiveness of their waste water treatment system. The method they used before ParticleTech Solution was done with eye measurement by the operator.
The operator had a perception that bigger flocs were equivalent to less small free-floating particles. ParticleTech Classification algorithm revealed that smaller and less dense flocs had less free-floating particles than bigger and more dense flocs. These results are illustrated with the images below.
The ParticleTech Classification algorithm classifies the media into flocs (green) and small free-floating particles (red) and delivers an area-based percentage of the different classifications. Read more…
ParticleTech Solution has a push-notification system under development that continuously informs the operator of the conditions in all flocculation tanks.
