Hi Jesse, Thanks for the detailed response. I was a bit sceptical about Lamella performance at lower solids loading. The operators claim that jar testing shows that there is a requirement to increase the document dose to 3ppm to ensure the outlet turbidity is good. I feel 3ppm flocculant dose is quite high and we require to change our flocculant dosing system. Alternatively I am considering Sludge recycling so that there is some sludge. Seeding which helps in settling of the solid particles. The Feed being treated is Mine water blended with various other water sources. Thanks. Abilash
