Monitor flocculation in real-time 24/7

with Basin FlocCAM®

The Basin FlocCAM® is a patented  instrument devised for in-situ monitoring of floc particles during various water treatment processes. The unit floats on the surface of a tank within a water or wastewater treatment plant and provides real-time data indicating the physical properties and motion of particles during the treatment process.

The Basin FlocCAM® is operated with an user-friendly computer program. The program collects and displays real-time data regarding the number and average diameter of floc particles, the overall particle size distribution and average particle density. It is optimized to characterize the full range of particle sizes present during typical flocculation. The collected data are stored in an easily accessible Excel-readable file for analysis and comparison with past and future plant operation. In addition the data can be sent to the user’s SCADA system via 4-20 mA signals.

The Basin FlocCAM® enables operators to immediately detect changes during flocculation caused by a change in the incoming water quality, an addition, or change in the dose, of coagulants and any other chemical, as well as a change in the flow regime due to an alteration of impeller rotational speed. The ability to clearly detect the effects of these changes gives the operator an improved understanding of the plant’s current operation.
