Coagulation / Flocculation
Chemical treatment systems can remove suspended solids, emulsified oils and heavy metals
Coagulation/flocculation water treatment technology is typically
applied to remove suspended particles and/or emulsified oils
from water.
Coagulation
The purpose of coagulation is to neutralize the repelling charges
and to allow the matter to gather (agglomerate). For most wash
water and industrial wastewater applications, coagulation can
be accomplished by mixing a chemical coagulant (a cationic
positive charged chemical) into the water, or by applying
Electro-coagulation (an electrolytic process using an electrolytic
sacrificial cell and DC current) to the water.
Flocculation
The purpose of flocculation is to create additional adhesion
between the agglomerated mater by mixing a flocculent chemical
into the water. The process creates larger agglomerations and adds
molecular weight to the matter, which enhances the separation
and removal process of the contaminants from the water.
A proprietary (patent pending) water treatment system that
incorporates chemical coagulation and chemical flocculation
technology. This system features industrial grade components
and is simple to use and maintain, but is highly effective for
treating a broad range of waste streams including suspended
solids and emulsified oils. This system will automatically
process water and move it downstream so that no standing
water is retained within the system after processing is
complete. Water is processed on a batch-feed, continual basis.
A proprietary (patent pending) water treatment system that
incorporates a new generation of Electro-coagulation and
chemical flocculation technology. This system features
robust industrial grade components and is simple to use and

heavy metals. This system will automatically process water
and move it downstream so that no standing water is retained
within the system after processing is complete. Water is

The Compact CoAg unit is typically combined with a
separator/final blending tank that has unique internal piping,
along with an auto-purge system that results in very little
standing water within the system at the end of the day.
When combined with the Water Maze IPF2-20 Indexing
Polishing Filter, the agglomerated solids and oils are removed
from a clarified stream that can be recycled or discharged
(as allowed by local regulations).
