Key innovations
The innovation of this product is reflected in its unique structure of hollow spherical shape and open surface holes. It can actively form small vortices and suspended sludge layers in the water to improve flocculation efficiency.
Potential economic benefits
This product is used in water/sewage treatment coagulation processes. Through water plant renovation, new construction and sewage treatment projects, it can bring tens of millions of yuan in profits every year and achieve considerable economic benefits.
Potential climate benefits
By improving coagulation efficiency, the micro-vortex flocculator can significantly reduce chemical consumption and reduce carbon emissions from its production and transportation. At the same time, optimizing the flocculation process can reduce energy consumption in subsequent filtration, sludge treatment and other links, and reduce the overall operating carbon footprint of the water plant. If production capacity is increased, carbon emissions from new infrastructure can also be avoided.

Solution details

This patented product is used in the coagulation (flocculation) process for water supply or sewage treatment, and is used to form small vortices and suspended sludge layers in the flocculation reaction zone. The micro-vortex flocculator has a hollow spherical structure with small holes (pore diameter and pore ratio) on the surface. It is made of plastic and adds a small amount of material to adjust specific gravity and enhance adsorption. The bulk density is slightly larger than that of water.

It is suitable for the renovation and construction of water supply or sewage plants, and is used in coagulation treatment processes, with the goal of improving water quality or production capacity.<o></o>

1.With the improvement of national drinking water quality standards and the aging of some water plants, about 20 million m3/d water plants in my country need to be renovated every year. If this technology is adopted at only 25%, the annual profit can reach 15 million yuan;<o></o>

2.The construction of counties and new rural areas in my country requires the construction of many new water plants. Based on an estimated scale of 10 million m3/d, if 25% adopt this technology, the annual profit can reach 7.5 million yuan;<o></o>

3.The country attaches great importance to environmental protection and builds a large number of new sewage treatment projects every year. Some projects require physical and chemical processes. It is estimated that the promotion and application of this technology will earn more than 10 million yuan in profits every year.<o></o>
