Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource, one that must be preserved to safeguard our health as well as the surrounding flora and fauna.

The treatment process involves the removal of suspended organic matter, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), floating debris, and fats through physical and chemical processes. This is achieved through coagulation, where a coagulating chemical is added to the wastewater to enhance the removal of solid materials. Next is flocculation, where the chemical used to facilitate the flocculation process (formation of flakes) is called a flocculant, which is a synthetic organic anionic polymer. Its role is to induce the agglomeration of smaller particles, thereby increasing their size to enhance the clarification process. This is followed by sedimentation and skimming. Synapse Process Controls can provide support in terms of regulation, analyzers, recorders, or in the supply of chemicals such as flocculants-coagulants.
