Conventional design characterizes a flocculator with a laminar velocity gradient, G, and residence time, θ (Tambo and Watanabe, 1979). Because these are known parameters in literature we have the team has adopted them into our its research, which can be characterized using a laminar tube flocculator. The goal for Currently the Tube Floc team to reach is to determine an optimum length of the flocculator and an optimum alum dose for each length for varying influent is studying the effects of length and alum dose on varying influent turbidities and will determine the optimal values for these two conditions.
