- Abstract
- The roots of this research stem from the theories of hydraulic flocculation developed by Smoluchowski in the early portion of the twentieth century as well as later research by Camp and Stein in the 1940's. Their work was aimed at better understanding the principles involved during the flocculation stage of drinking water treatment. The combination of coagulation and flocculation followed by sedimentation, filtration and disinfection have been the norm in the treatment of drinking water since the 1920's. While this project was focused on improving the flocculation step of the drinking water treatment process, it is important to note that changes in any stage of treatment affect every subsequent stage. This report will attempt to keep that notion in mind and not lose sight of the larger picture which is overall treatment and finished water quality.
