Flocculants for Water Treatment
What are flocculants?
Flocculants are commonly used with coagulants and are a substance that helps the clumping of fine particles into a "floc", especially in the treatment of wastewater.
What is flocculation?
Flocculation is the process in which colloids — low-diameter particles that affect water's color or turbidity — are suspended in the form of loosely clumped particles called flocs. It can occur either spontaneously or by adding a flocculant — a water treatment chemical that aggregates the particles. Once these particles join together, they make it easier for the physical filtration process to remove them. First, water treatment facilities use coagulants to neutralize any charged particles suspended in the water.

Benefits of using flocculation chemicals in water treatment
When used properly, the advantages of flocculants in the water treatment process are immense. With flocculants and coagulants, your water treatment facility can:
- Reduce contamination from solid particles and colloids
- Decrease sludge volume
- Encourage particle settling for easy removal
- Improve the efficiency of the water filtration process
- Enhance the filter's performance
- Promote increased cost-effectiveness and simplicity in water treatment
