Particle counting technique in the evaluation of flocculation process at water treatment plants
The goal of the flocculation process is to change the particle size distribution to best suit the subsequent processes. Although several methods exist to evaluate the flocculation process, no single universally accepted method has yet to be developed. The purpose of this paper is to present an experience whereby particle counting was used in the evaluation of the flocculation process. A commercially available on-line continuous particle counter has been used in evaluating the design and the operation of this process at two conventional Water Treatment Plants. The evaluation is based on particle dynamics, i.e., the change of the number of small and large particles. Some design deficiencies in the flocculation process have been identified from this method, and thus some operational parameters are suggested for optimum performance. The optimum condition may be site specific, and the method presented in this paper will be beneficial in the evaluation of the flocculation process at other water treatment plants.
