TP – 1177 An Introduction to Treatment of Contaminated Water for Professional Engineers

Description

Mixing provides greater uniformity of the wastewater feed and disperses precipitating agents, coagulants, and coagulant aids throughout the wastewater to ensure the most rapid precipitation reactions and subsequent settling of precipitates possible. To quantify the degree of mixing, the amount of energy supplied and  the mixing residence time must be considered. The related turbulence effects of the specific size and shape of the tank.
