Floc in refrigeration oil is wax that has separated out from oil containing parathene.

No, floc is not dangerous if consumed in small amounts. It is commonly used in water purification processes and is generally considered safe. However, ingesting large amounts of floc could potentially cause stomach discomfort.

(Note : "floc" is the flakes that come out of colloidal suspension of pool chemicals.) You need to vacuum the floc from the bottom. However if you can't set your pool to waste, you can disconnect the pump hose from the pool and run it normally.

Floc is the precipitant when s solute comes out of solution

Floc point, also known as Freon floc point, is used to measure the performance and consistency of refrigeration oils. In order for the refrigeration system to function properly, the oil used should be compatible. Wax can separate when an oil solution is cooled with Freon. Once the wax is separated it is called flocculation and that is the reason it is called floc point.

The organism such as protozoan and rotifers.

A floc agent is a chemical used for floccing a pool. Flocculation is the process of clumping up the solids in the pool water and any chemical in solution. The 'floc' will eventually sink to the bottom so that it can be vaccumed to waste. Commonly used in new pool start up procedures after pool is initially filled with water

Floc particles are formed during the process of flocculation, where suspended solids in water come together to create larger, heavier particles. These particles can then settle out of the water more easily, aiding in the clarification and purification of the water.

I've actually answered my own question. For anyone who is curious, we used pool floc to treat the problem. Our pool is in an area with a lot of trees, and our problem wasn't algae at all (contrary to what numerous pool "professionals" told us). The greenness of our pool was caused by tree debris that was so fine it went right through the filter. We added floc, which causes all the debris to clump together and sink. Then we vacuumed to waste and our pool was perfect. The whole floc/vacuum process took 24 hours.

clumps of bacteria come together and impurities come together to form a cluster called as floc and the chemicals that are used for this purpose are called floceulants.

Yes, activated sludge forms a lacy network of floc mass that can entrap various materials, including not only food sources but also non-biodegradable substances and inert particles present in the wastewater. This entrapment allows for the removal and treatment of these materials during the sludge treatment process.

Floculation is the combining of very small pieces into bigger pieces. It's a chemistry term for colloids in solution. The colloids come out of suspension in the form of floc or flakes.

Probable causes of floating sludge in a clarifier include high organic loading or high levels of fats, oils, and grease in the influent wastewater, improper sludge thickening or removal mechanisms, and inadequate mixing or aeration in the clarifier tank leading to poor solid-liquid separation.

Other than the people variety of snowbirds, they are probably dark-eyed Juncos, a member of the sparrow family - dark gray on top with white underneath.

A flock of geese is a group of geese flying or on the ground together. Geese often travel in a V formation during migration to reduce air resistance and save energy. These social birds communicate through honking calls to stay connected and navigate together.

Migration.

How about "forest" or "woods"? Is it too small for that? If so I'd go with "grove" or "cluster", I suppose. :) If it HAS to be one of your two choices, I'd go with group.

Hows about a clump.

A white dove alone commonly symbolizes peace. Many believe that a flock of white doves mean some kind of miracle or a message from God.

A flocculating agent works by causing particles in a solution to clump together, forming larger aggregates that can be more easily removed by filtration or settling. This process helps to clarify liquids by removing suspended solids or colloidal particles. Flocculating agents are commonly used in wastewater treatment and purification processes.

A flocculant, such as alum or polyacrylamide, is added to water to cause flocculation. These chemicals help to aggregate suspended particles in the water, making them easier to remove through filtration or settling processes.

The sediments that settle out during water treatment are typically removed through a process called sedimentation. In this process, water is allowed to stand still in a tank or basin, causing the heavier particles to settle to the bottom. These settled sediments, often referred to as sludge or floc, are then removed from the water through a scraping or draining mechanism.

Hello, I'm Dontlistentome and I have to say I disagree with the above interpretation. I think the word is misspelled in the question. The word "floccinaucinihilipilification", meaning the habit of seeing everything as worthless, is pronounced

floksin-ossi-niali-pilifi-kayshun.

There is a distinct "k" sound in the first part as the word comes from "floc" (as in "flocculent") meaning a wisp of wool typically, as in something virtually insignificant, or in this case where flocculent refers to the aggregation of insignificant particles. The "nihil" part is pronounced "nial" as in "nihilist".

Any particles in your pool can cause cloudiness - for example, dead algae. To eliminate it, most pool stores sell a "clarifier" - the one I sell is blue - which will get the particles out of your pool, or "alum" or "floc", which will bind the particles together, making them heavier, dropping them down to the bottom of your pool. You can then vacuum them out with your filter set to waste.

If you have a DE filter, and you add a white powder to your skimmer sometimes, it is possible that your filter is leaking DE back into your pool and you need to replace the grids inside it.

#1 have water tested... sounds like too many chemicals were added at once.. also " floc" the pool. this will clear the pool water and settle all particles to bottom. then u vacume the pool to "waste" ( vac everything right out of the pool) you eill lose water when doing this so fill it up high and fill it while your vacuming

Flocculation is the process of particles coming together to form larger clumps, which can then settle out of a solution. Precipitation is the formation of a solid within a solution that becomes insoluble and settles out. In flocculation, the particles remain suspended in the solution, while in precipitation, the particles solidify and settle to the bottom.

At water treatment plants, aluminum sulfate and calcium hydroxide are added to precipitate particles in the water. Aluminum sulfate forms a sticky floc that helps to trap impurities, while calcium hydroxide helps to adjust the pH levels and further enhance particle removal. These processes are essential for removing contaminants and purifying the water before it is distributed for consumption.

Primary course is to first kill the algae. Allot of shock. If it's green, use at least 20-25lbs initially. Brush it in and let run 24hrs. Drop PH with muriatic acid to at least a 7.2. And, stock chlorine tabs in skimmers, floaters, etc to boost stabilized chlorine levels to at least a 3ppm.

Once run 24hrs, add a floc agent. Run pump another 6-8hrs, then turn off and leave off. Dead stuff will settle in about a day. Then vacuum to waste sediment. Might take 2 or even three vacs letting settle after each attempt. Keep water level high until completed.

Flocculation is one step in the water and wastewater treatment process. In a flocculation tank, the water is stirred or otherwise moved around so that the particles move around, bump into other particles, and stick to one another. Eventually the small and difficult to remove particles in the water form large clumps which can then be easily removed. Chemicals (most commonly "alum") are often added to the water going into a flocculation tank to help aid particle formation.

Ferric chloride is commonly used in water treatment as a coagulant to help remove impurities and particles suspended in water. When added to water, ferric chloride generates a dense precipitate that can then be easily filtered out, resulting in clearer water. It is effective in removing pollutants like heavy metals, phosphates, and some pathogens.

You can manually vacuum the algae out of the pool using a pool vacuum. You can also use a pool brush to scrub the algae off the walls and floor of the pool, and then use a fine mesh net to scoop it out. Additionally, you can shock the pool with a higher dose of chlorine to kill the algae.

Fine solid particles are removed from water in a water treatment plant through processes like coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. Coagulation involves adding chemicals to the water to neutralize charges on particles, allowing them to stick together. Flocculation helps form larger particles called floc, which settle out during sedimentation. Finally, the water passes through filters to remove any remaining particles.

Sodium azide is not typically used in the Winkler titration procedure. The Winkler titration is used to measure dissolved oxygen in water samples, and sodium azide is not necessary for this process. Sodium azide is sometimes used as a preservative in water samples to prevent microbial growth, but its presence would not affect the procedure itself.

couldnt tell u without reading the bottle that the floc came in The idea of putting flocculant in the water is for the flocculant to attack to impurity's in the water and sink to the bottom of the pool, Ideally the water should not be disturbed while this is happening. After a couple of days of this you will note a cloudy area on the bottom of the pool. this should then be vacuumed to waste. You should not swim in a pool being treated with flocculant if you want the treatment to be totally effective. RB

1273 miles away and we have the same problem!!! how bizarre is that?

I just bought 'SUPER FLOC OUT' for our pool...we had a major mudslide one stormy night (even running the pump for week straight didn't clear it up). One quart of FLOC OUT for a 40,000 pool made the little particles of mud 'group together' so the filter could collect it - it's worked for us!

XXXOOO

MUD! With record rains this past May, a flood completely covered our in-ground pool, filling it with mud (and corn stalks, leaves, you name it!). It was so thick at the bottom that we broke two poles and a vacuum head! It was so turbid, you couldn't see the pool light - even at night.

Because of high ground water, we couldn't drain the pool. Thanks to this site, I got an idea of what to do (there isn't a lot out there about muddy pools!)

We have only had our pool for two years now, and I am not an expert. I also do not have any affiliation with any pool or chemical companies, but will share what I used and what I did.

Step one: Tried to let the filter clean it. That was like spitting on a forest fire. Left the filter off for the duration.

Step two: Vacuum to waste. I had to do it by feel since I couldn't see the vacuum head as soon as it broke the surface of the water. I did this for three days, refilling the discharged water each time.

Step three: I tried a Sun flocculent product with disappointing results - but some results all the same. Used double the dose - two quarts for 30,000 gallons. More vacuum to waste

Step four: I ordered extra strength flocculent (Water Warehouse). AMAZING results. I used four quarts for 30,000 gallons (Quadruple the dose). It still took several days of letting the mud settle, vacuuming to waste and refilling daily in between.

Once the bottom was clean and I could see through the brown, we ran the filter.

Step five: Treated the filter (sand filter)with a "Filter Helper" by Haviland. Used the whole container - dissolved and administered through the skimmer

In three days, the water was crystal clear.

Total duration for the ordeal: Two weeks. It would have been shorter, I believe, if I had had the extra strength flocculent up front.

Thank you for this site! I couldn't have gotten through it without your advice!

Removal of residual suspended solids can help remove residual BOD5 because BOD5 is a measure of the amount of oxygen required by microorganisms to decompose organic matter in water. When suspended solids are removed, there is less organic matter available for microbial decomposition, thus reducing the BOD5 levels in the water.

If you are refering to a white cloudiness, There are two reasons for this one is not enough sanitizer or chlorine it should be between 2.0-5.0. The other is poor circulation either your filter is dirty or worn out and not filtering enough. A commercial pool or multi family pool needs to circulate 24-7. A residential pool should circulate at least 8 hours a day in order to keep water healthy.The powder is formed from Alkalinity being to high. Alkalinity should be between 80-120 ppm and PH maintained around 7.2-7.6 ppm. Take a sample to your local pool dealer and they will tell you how to fix it.It is important to know how many gallons is in your pool Lengthxwidthxavg.depthx8 Kenny Kummer E.M. Systems

# Test the swimming pool water for Combined Chlorine, pH, Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness. The two areas that are most likely to cause cloudy pool water are the pH and the Calcium Hardness. # If the pool chemical levels are not within the following suggested ranges, adjust the chemicals and run the pool filter system for 12-24 hours before re-testing. Free Chlorine: 1-3 ppm, pH: 7.2 - 7.6, Alkalinity: 90 - 120 ppm and Calcium Hardness: 200 - 350 ppm. # If all the pool chemical levels test in range, the cloudy pool water is caused by fine debris suspended in the pool water. You should backwash or clean your pool filter following the manufacturer's instructions, and run the pool filter system continuously for 24 to 48 hours. # If the water conditions have not significantly improved you should add a clarifier pool chemical to the pool water to help your pool filter remove the fine debris from the water. Continue filtering for 12 to 24 hours. # If the water conditions have not significantly improved you should add a second dose of clarifier, or a stronger clarifier chemical and continue to run your filtration system. # Sometimes a pool can be too cloudy for a clarifier. If this is the case you will have to move up to a floc. This will drop any suspended particles to the floor so you can vacuum it to waste. = It is common for pool water to become cloudy immediately after adding products to adjust the pool pH or Alkalinity. = If your pool water became cloudy within 6-8 hours of adjusting the pH or Alkalinity, continue circulating your water and it should clear within 24 hours as the water adjusts to the CHANGES YOU'VE MADE Suhail IsmailGENTECH UAE

Water being polar is normally mostly immiscible with oils - which are non-polar. Water is also less dense than pretty much all substances that would be considered oils.

These two facts usually manifest with the oil molecules gathering together into droplets that rise to the top of the mixture to form a separate liquid phase floating on top of the water phase. The separation is not actually complete - a tiny amount of water will dissolve into the oil and a tiny amount of oil will dissolve into the water - but for most purposes the two phases can be considered to be completely separate.

If an oil and water mixture is subjected to vigorous mixing, it may result in an emulsion - very, very tiny droplets of one substance suspended in the other. Emulsions can remain relatively stable for a very long time but usually they eventually experience flocculation, creaming, coalescence or Ostwald ripening.

Flocculation occurs when there is an attractive force between the droplets, so they form flocs, like bunches of grapes.

Coalescence occurs when droplets bump into each other and combine to form a larger droplet, so the average droplet size increases over time.

Creaming occurs when the droplets rise to the top of the emulsion under the influence of buoyancy, or under the influence of the centripetal force induced when a centrifuge is used.

Ostwald ripening is an observed phenomenon where tiny droplets dissolve, and redeposit onto larger droplets. Over time the larger droplets grow in size until they floc, coalesce, or cream.

If the viscosity of the major phase in which the droplets are suspended is very viscous, it can take a very long time for separation to occur. A common example of this is mayonnaise, which generally goes rancid long before it experiences significant separation. Less viscous mixtures can separate substantially in a few minutes, such as oil/water vinaigrettes.
