Kramer, O.J.I. (author), de Moel, P.J. (author), Baars, E.T. (author), van Vugt, W.H. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Natural particles are frequently applied in drinking water treatment in up-flow fluidisation processes. Additionally, sedimentation processes are applied to clarify water and to concentrate solids. To estimate the terminal settling velocity of single solid particles in a liquid system, a comprehensive collection of equations is available. For...conference paper 2017

Kramer, O.J.I. (author), de Moel, P.J. (author), Baars, E.T. (author), van Vugt, W.H. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)The literature provides a comprehensive collection of equations to estimate the<br/>terminal settling velocity of single solid particles in a liquid system. The settling velocity for perfectly round spheres can accurately be calculated. In the contrary for natural imperfect particles the experimentally measured settling velocity deviates...conference paper 2017

(author)About 50% of the drinking water in the Netherlands is centrally softened by the drinking water companies in a process known as pellet softening. In this process a base and seeding material are mixed in an upflow reactor, where subsequently CaCO3 precipitates on a seed core as pellets. The seeding material is usually sand, but recently CaCO3 was...conference paper 2015
