Coagulant Optimization

Coagulant Optimization

Coagulants are a significant operating cost and thus it is important to use them efficiently. Coagulant optimizationincludes stock preparation, testing stock concentrations, dosing with the chemical dose controller, and injection of the coagulant into the raw water. As part of the AguaClara design philosophy these steps need to be done efficiently and we need to provide appropriate feedback to the operators so that they know when they have done these task well.

See Stock Tank Mixing for previous work on an efficient design for a mixer in the stock tanks. A draft document containing analysis of the centrifugal pumping action inside the stock tank is also available.
