Recently we were presented with a great opportunity to make a proposal for a new $100 million dollar Design-Build water treatment plant. This plant consisted of a Preliminary Treatment System, Flocculation System, and Residuals Treatment Systems all of which can be...
Vertical Paddle Wheel Flocculators (VPWF) are the most popular and economical flocculator used in water treatment plants. These flocculators are designed with 10 State Standards in mind. Plants are concerned, not only about the cost of the equipment, but also the...
A couple of months ago, we put together an article on Flocculator Maintenance, outlining the importance of routine flocculator maintenance. The correct maintenance on your flocculator can result in decades of useful life. To add to those comments, we would now...
Horizontal Paddle Wheel Flocculators (HPWF) are the most popular and most economical flocculator used in water treatment plants. These flocculators are designed with 10 State Standards in mind. Plants are concerned, not only about the cost of the equipment, but also...
You just don’t think about flocculator maintenance too often as flocculators are proven pieces of equipment and seem to run day in and day out for years, even decades. Flocculators are, however, rotating equipment with moving parts both above and below the water...
One of the key components in the water treatment process, flocculation, is most effective when the functions of fluid motion, differential settling, and velocity gradient (during each stage of the process) work in harmony to achieve the ultimate goal: maximizing...
Paddle wheel floccutors are one of the most popular style of flocculators used in water treatment plants around the world. Flocculators are used to help with large size particles known as flocs have a higher density, and hence a higher settling rate. Both Impeller...
Simple bearings just don’t sound exciting. But don’t let the word “simple” fool you. There is a lot more to bearing technology than appears on the surface, and a poorly operating bearing can result in less than optimal performance, and even equipment...
Watch this JMS Presentation on “Types of Flocculators for Water Treatment Plants.” Josh Franks, P.E., Senior Application Engineer from JMS, talks about the current flocculator technologies, the pros and cons of each, and which technology...
Watch this JMS Presentation on the JMS Mega-BEARING (High Performance Bearing System). Kerry Dissinger, Vice President of JMS, discusses the Mega-BEARING, why JMS developed it, and the need it solves in the market. What is the JMS...
