Abstract
Flocculation belongs without any doubt to the most important processes used in the treatment of surface waters, and there are only very few plants where this treatment can be omitted. If, on the one hand, we consider that the scientific bases for this process ought to be the same all over the world and, on the other hand, we look at the many totally different plants in operation applying this treatment step, we begin to doubt that all these very different units used for flocculation and in most cases sedimentation follow the same process rules.
