👉 Settle fluid, also known as flocculant or coagulant sludge, is a byproduct generated during the water treatment process, particularly in sedimentation and flocculation stages. It consists of fine particles, primarily composed of insoluble organic and inorganic materials, that have aggregated together due to the addition of chemical coagulants or natural processes. These particles, often referred to as flocs, are larger and heavier than the original suspended solids in the water. As the water settles, these flocs sink to the bottom of the treatment basin or settling tank, forming a layer of settle fluid. This settle fluid is then typically removed through sedimentation or filtration processes, leaving cleaner water behind. The settle fluid plays a crucial role in removing impurities and improving water quality before further treatment or discharge.
