The primary task for the conditioning is to optimize the floc structure in interconnection with highly variable sludge and process parameters.Todays technique doesn’t reach this aim. Different dewatering units demand for a specific flocculation process. Thus, the dewatering results are as good as the conditioning stepOur solutionThe international patent-protected flocculation unit FlocFormer can be adapted to various conditions and is tailor made for separation processes supported by polymers. Four adjustable system parameters enables the system to be used at different flow rates and meets a high flexibility towards changing sludge properties and dewatering machines. An ingenious IdeaThe FlocFormer realizes a two step process; initially the flocculation agent is injected into a rapid mixer which results in high volume flocs with low shear stability. Then they are eroded and later compacted in the flocculation reactor. The polymer can develop its full performance. The final products of the FlocFormer conditioning process are floc pellets. The dewatering and separation efficiency of these pellets is very high. Additionally the polymer is mixed in the sludge extensively. The complete performance of the polymer can be activated this time, no overdosing is necessary anymore.Improved Polymer conditioning for Sludge and WastewaterFlocs in separation processScheme of FlocFormer processFlocFormer Models (Throughput m³/h)Your BenefitThe application of FlocFormer improves your dewatering results for about 25%, irrespective of the mode of dewatering e.g. by chamber filter press, counter-current centrifuge, drum sieve or screw press. The higher dry solid content saves disposal costs or energy consumption in case of incineration.The filtrate quality improves considerably and the reload of the waste water treatment plant declines. The consumption of polymer will diminish for about 30% and analogue the cost of operation will decrease. In the same way all polymer initiated separation processes can be significantly improved.2 3floc structure of common conditioningfloc structure of FlocFormer pelleting(Raw and mixed sludge, polymer consumption 5g/kg TS, common conditioning with static mixer equipment)Advantages at a glanceReduced disposal costs due to reduced sludge amount and higher dry solid content.Much better separation efficiency.Decreasing polymer consumption, therefore reduced operation costs.Better filling level of Sludge Containers with dryer Sludge.Improved filtrate quality, therefore less reload of the waste water treatment plant.Easy implementation in existing Processes.Short amortization period.Combination with all established separation processes.For upgrade or extension of an existing plant: Easy set up and integration of the plant due to a compact application.FlocFormer 3L in operationFlocFormer SchematicOf course, the FlocFormer system is applicable to industrial wastewater and sludge treatment, too. Within its four parameter settings all kinds of floc structure can be generated by the Floc- Former system.waste water /sludgespecific floc structurepolymer1. steppolymer mixing2. stepfloc forming / pelleting
