Model FlocSens -Flocculated Particles Monitoring Sensor
So far, there has been no method available for the reliable assessment of flocculated particle systems. The monitoring and control of dewatering processes through assessment of the flocs was thus not feasible. On the other hand, the quality of the dewatering properties in a flocculated system can only be evaluated using the floc image prior to dewatering.
Our solution:
The new and international patent protected photo-optical online sensor FlocSens evaluates the floc properties by using a CCD-camera. The measuring system correlates the signal with empirical data.
The sensor will give specific information e.g. for following variables:
- floc size distribution and changes of it
- shear stability of the flocs
- effectiveness of your flocculation agent
- the estimated dewaterability of the sludge / particle system
The FlocSens is suitable for stationary application in tubes or is available as laboratory unit. The lab unit offers the possibility to analyse e.g. the shear stability or the dewaterability of the flocs / particle systems in dependence of the polymer used.
The advantages at a glance:
- quick and reproducible variables of floc properties
- control (even closed-loop control) of your process via online measurement system
- wide rage of application due to parameter driven software
FlocSens is the optimal completion of our FlocFormer process for the conditioning of municipal sewage sludge.
