Sci-tech Flocculation Test Demonstrator for Education

Sci-tech Flocculation Test Demonstrator Model FM 61 is designed to conduct the coagulation and flocculation test in the laboratory. These tests are called as “Jar Test” which are routinely performed by the water treatment operators in the industry. This test indicates the optimum chemical dosages for removal of turbidity and colour present in water. It also indicates such auxiliary fact regarding pH adjustments and necessity for the supplemental use of activated carbon.

The laboratory scale unit of Flocculation test unit consists of 6 Nos. of Glass Flocculating vessels.

These are provided on a translucent base which is illuminated from bottom by a florescent lamp, fitted with a reflector. Each vessel is provided with a separate stirrer. A Paddle type SS Impeller is fixed on the stirrer shaft and the speed of the impellers can be regulated with the provided speed controller. All stirrers are driven with one variable speed motor. This paddle assembly can be easily removed for the cleaning purpose.

Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.
