Abstract
The water to treat is received in a chamber (1) with a rapid mixer and from there it passes to a second chamber for coagulation (3) and from that to a third chamber for flocculation (4) where it is mixed with certain coagulating reagents. It then enters a separator (7) provided with some filtering membranes (5) where it is clarified. In the separator (7) there are some air nozzles (6) which sweep the surface of the said filtering membranes (5), some inlet nozzles (8) for floccules coming from the coagulation-flocculation and other air outlet nozzles (6) for distribution of said floccules underneath the membrane (5).

SLUDGE FLOCCULATOR-SEPARATOR FOR THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF WATER, wherein it comprises a reception chamber (1) of the water to treat, with a rapid mixer (2), passing to a coagulation chamber (3) and to a chamber for flocculation (4), being mixed with coagulating reagents;
- provision having been made for another contiguous chamber which materialises the actual separator itself (7), where a series of filtering membranes (5) is to be found, where the water to treat is clarified as it passes through them;
- there existing some air inlet nozzles (6) which perform a sweep on the surface of said filtering membranes (5);
- and with provision furthermore having been made for some longitudinal nozzles (8) for the entrance and distribution of floccules, located beneath said filtering membranes (5).
