The Coagulation, Flocculation and Settling Pilot Plant (HydraNexis HNX 01) is a laboratory and pilot-scale water treatment system designed to demonstrate solid removal through chemical precipitation and sedimentation. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, this unit is widely used in environmental engineering education, research laboratories, and process optimization studies. It enables hands-on understanding of coagulation, flocculation, and settling processes under controlled conditions.

Product Overview

The HydraNexis HNX 01 pilot plant operates on the fundamental principles of chemical coagulation followed by flocculation and gravity settling. Raw water is pumped into a coagulation reactor where a coagulant is added to neutralize repulsive forces between suspended and dissolved particles, forming micro-flocs. The water then flows into a flocculation reactor, where a flocculant promotes the formation of larger, more settleable flocs.

In the settling stage, low flow velocities are maintained to avoid turbulence and allow effective sedimentation. A lamella separator facilitates efficient solid-liquid separation. Treated water and settled sludge are collected separately, allowing observation, sampling, and analysis. The system is suitable for academic demonstration, laboratory experimentation, and pilot-scale evaluation of water treatment processes.
