GPB T40

PHYSICO-CHEMICAL TREATMENT COAGULATION-FLOCCULATION-DECANTATION

Teaching suggested applications*

- Visualization and understanding of the water treatment process

- Study of flocculation

- Study of chemical neutralization of water with pH measurement

- Influence of the variation of the feed flow rates and of recycling of the sludges

Description

The GPB T40 bench allows the study of the physico-chemical treatment.

The raw water (or wastewater) is stored in a buffer tank. A centrifugal pump will transfer it to first bin (coagulation bin). This bin is also supplied by a pump which injects a coagulant product. An agitator ensures the homogeneity of the solution.

The water is then cast by overflow into a second bin (flocculation bin). This bin is also supplied by a pump which injects a flocculant product. An agitator ensures the homogeneity of the solution.

The water is then poured into a third overflow bin (decantation bin). Water containing the flocs will rise to traverse the slats. The flocs will then be deposited on the slats and fall by gravity to the bottom of the decantation tank. The treated water will come out from the top of the slats and flow by overflow in the vent duct.
The robust design of this device makes it suitable for use in schools.
The equipment is set up on an Anodized aluminum frame on casters wheels. This gives it great strength and a flexibility of integration into your premises. The manufacture of this equipment complies with the European standard for machinery manufacturing. This equipment can be used alone or with other compatible equipment from our range (see last section of this document).
