The optimization of coagulation-flocculation process in a conventional treatment water plant

The assurance of the protection for the delivered drinking water against the secondary pathogenic increases in the distribution network will become a prime importance target for water treatment plants. In the waterworks there are used the multi barrier concept, and each treatment step will have to be optimized to obtain a maximum reduction of the compounds which are a health hazard to consumers. The optimization of the coagulation flocculation process in order to obtain an advanced reducing of suspensions, organic substances and microbiological constituents has a positive effect on the other technological phases such as decantation, filtration, disinfection, ensuring the risk reduction of bacterial growth in the distribution network.
