Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the performance characteristics of an inline mixing and coagulation system for water treatment based on the process intensification concept. Three-stage inline mixing and coagulation system was composed of the reservoirs of source wastewater, the fixed quantity injection pumps of coagulants, the mixing and coagulation tubes, a sedimentation tank and a control panel. In the equal dosage of coagulant and coagulant aids, the turbidity removal with increasing the dosage of coagulant aids was about 3 times higher than that with increasing the dosage of coagulant. In the condition of the equal mixing and coagulation time, the turbidity removal of inline mixing and coagulation system was about 4.6 times higher than that of mechanical type.
