Defined Velocity Gradient Model Flocculator

Abstract
The importance of flocculation in the removal of up to micron sized mineral and biological particles led to the study of a defined velocity gradient flocculator. The design desiderata are outlined and the theoretical basis given. The coaxial cylinder, Couette device developed is described and its hydraulic testing discussed. Mention is made of floc flow patterns observed in flocculation tests with quartette particles and alum.
