This paper presents a new high rate ballasted flocculation technology operating at very low
flow rates. This pilot unit was optimized thanks to the Computational Fluid Dynamics
modeling of the mixing tanks and settling zone. Once validated, the design unit is compared
in terms of turbidity reduction to a full scale unit installed in the L'Assomption Drinking
Water Plant (23600 m3/d , Quebec, Canada). The full scale unit operates with a 99% turbidity
reduction, the pilot unit with a 1.44m/h allowed to reach 98% of turbidity reduction with a
rise rate of 40m/h. Includes 10 references, tables, figures.
