Abstract
In water treatment, ensuring adequate quantity and quality is crucial. The coagulation/flocculation stage is a focus of ongoing research, with novel methods being explored. Among these, the helically coiled tube flocculator (HCTF) has shown promising results in turbidity removal with reduced processing times. This study introduces a computational tool to determine the optimal HCTF length and conducts a probabilistic performance analysis. The analysis considers the uncertainties in hydraulic parameters following the definition of the flocculator’s geometric parameters, contributing to a deeper understanding and optimization of HCTF applications in water treatment.
