Flocculation in water treatment plants is an essential step since as it helps settle out colloidal particles with the use of a coagulant agent to facilitate particle collision and growth. For the AguaClara Tube Floc Team, the team's goal is to conduct experiments to further understand and optimize hydraulic flocculation. Specifically, the team will narrow down key design parameters such as the optimum length of the flocculator and optimum alum doses for each length and varying influent conditions tested.
