The STORM™ controls the automa c dosing of both flocculant and coagulant reagents to a Thickener. A sample is
drawn from the Thickener centrewell into the Se ling Cylinder. When the Se ling Cylinder is full, the flocculated
par cles will start to se le, passing a specially posi oned op cal sensor.
Flocculant pump dose rate is controlled by the rate at which the sample se les. Should the sample se le too
quickly, the flocculant dose rate is reduced. If the sample se les too slowly, the flocculant dose rate is increased.
When all the par cles have se led, the supernatant turbidity is measured. This reading controls the coagulant
dose pump rate. If the residual turbidity is too high, then the coagulant pump speed is increased. If the residual
turbidity is low, then the coagulant pump speed is decreased.
