what kind of mixers are used in flocculation
Slow mixing is a key aspect of the flocculation process. In slow mixing, the water is stirred to encourage floc particles to clump together. Stirring too fast can break large particles apart, while stirring too slowly can prevent particles from clumping enough. A wide variety of flocculation-mixing mechanisms have been used in water treatment. They include vertical shaft mechanical mixers, horizontal shaft mechanical mixers, and hydraulic mixing systems. Often, optimum performance is achieved by reducing the intensity of mixing as the water
