What is the Major Difference Between Coagulation and Flocculation in Water Treatment?

Published on by in Technology

Hi all,

What is one major difference between coagulation and flocculation in water treatment? What are the chemicals used for each process? I have noticed over the years that in water treatment processes, some professionals use coagulation and flocculation interchangeably or even cannot give a simple distinct explanation for both.

Regards,
Justin
