Paramount make Conventional Tank Flocculators use slow speed paddle type mixers mounted on a steel or cement concrete tank to effectively mix flocculant with the effluent.

The flocculator speeds are designed to provide an adequate effect on settling or rising properties of the solids in effluent/ water. The inbuilt behaviour for less efficient settling or rising properties of colloidal solids with the flocculating agents is compensated by providing adequate short circuiting or back mixing in the Flocculation tank. Back mixing is taken care of by providing an adequate residence time in the flocculation tank. The residence times are normally three to five times higher than the pipe flocculators.
