Jar Test Apparatus Flocculator

About Jar Test Apparatus Flocculator

The Jar Test Apparatus Flocculator is a laboratory and pilot-scale instrument used to evaluate flocculation processes in water and wastewater treatment. It helps determine the optimum mixing conditions and chemical dosage required for effective coagulation and floc formation, ensuring efficient clarification.

Designed for reliability and uniform performance, this apparatus is widely used in water treatment plants, environmental labs, research institutes, and industrial effluent testing facilities.

Key Features:

• Multiple Stirring Positions: Available in 4, 6, or 8 paddle configurations for parallel testing
• Variable Speed Control: Adjustable stirring speeds for both rapid mixing and slow flocculation
• Uniform Paddle Motion: Ensures consistent mixing across all samples
• Robust Construction: Mild steel body with powder coating or stainless steel options
• Easy Operation: User-friendly controls for speed and time settings
• Stable Base: Minimizes vibration during operation

Working Principle:

Water samples are placed in multiple beakers beneath rotating paddles. Coagulants are added, and the samples are first subjected to rapid mixing, followed by slow stirring (flocculation stage). The formation, size, and settling behavior of flocs are observed to optimize treatment parameters.

Applications:

• Drinking water treatment testing
• Sewage and wastewater treatment plants
• Coagulation and flocculation studies
• Industrial effluent analysis
• Educational and research laboratories
