The aim is to characterize how geometric parameters affect the performance of helical flocculators in producing flocs.
Different combinations of helical coil pitch, diameter, and pipe length were tested.
Flocs were analyzed for mean size, structure, and concentration under various flow hydrodynamics.
Flocs produced had varying mean sizes and structures based on geometric design.
Concentration of flocs also varied depending on flow conditions.

Implication

Experimental evaluation of different helical flocculator designs shows variation in floc properties depending on flow conditions.

Abstract

Helical flocculators with different combinations of helical coil pitch, diameter, and pipe length produced flocs with varying mean size, structure, and concentration. These properties also depended on the flow hydrodynamics.
