NanoDose™ Standalone Flocculation Kit

Complete coagulation and flocculation for a storage tank: dosing pump, 100 L chemical tank and a NanoJet™ recirculation loop that mixes the flocculant through the tank. Chemicals not included.

What it is for

Clearing cloudy water and removing very fine particles – silt, clay, colour and oxidised iron – that are too small to settle or filter well on their own. Alum or another flocculant clumps them into flocs heavy enough to settle out and be filtered.

Why “standalone”: the kit mounts on the side of your storage tank and brings its own NanoJet™ recirculation loop. It treats the water already in the tank, so it doesn’t depend on a borehole pump running or on the water flowing past an injection point.

How it works

1. Coagulation: the dosing pump feeds the flocculant into the venturi injector, and the NanoJet™ turbulence reactor mixes it hard and fast into the water. The positively charged flocculant neutralises the charge that keeps fine particles apart.
2. Flocculation: the gentler, steady circulation in the tank then lets those particles collide and stick together into larger flocs, which settle and are easily caught by a filter.

What’s included

1. Etatron PKX analogue dosing pump – solenoid diaphragm pump, output set by hand on the dial (1 L/h at 5 bar, up to 5 L/h at 7 bar), IP65, NSF certified. Supplied with its installation kit: 2 m discharge tube, 2 m suction and bleed tubes, foot filter and injection valve.
2. 100 L chemical dosing tank – choose Blue for outdoor installation or Clear for indoor installation (lets you see the level at a glance).
3. Chemical float switch (10 m cable) – sits in the chemical tank and stops the dosing pump if the chemical runs out, so it never runs dry or pumps air.
4. NanoJet™ Borehole Pressure-Boost assembly, sized to your tank – VORTEX™ (1,000–2,500 L), FUSION™ (2,500–5,000 L) or CYCLONE™ (5,000–10,000 L). Includes the pipes and connectors, mesh filter, gate valve, pressure gauge, venturi injector, NanoJet™ turbulence reactor and 1.1 kW pump.
5. Tank connectors (25, 32 or 40 mm) – optional, to suit your tank outlet.

Not included

1. Alum (aluminium sulphate) or other flocculant – we’ll recommend the right one for your water.
2. Why chemicals are separate: treatment chemicals are heavy and expensive to ship, so it is usually far cheaper to buy the recommended chemical from a supplier near you. We’ll tell you exactly which chemical and strength to buy, and it is also available from us as a separate product.
3. Installation (available on request).

Getting it right

1. Alum works within a pH window, typically about 5.8–7.2, and lowers the pH as it reacts. Check pH after dosing.
2. A simple jar test confirms the right dose for your water.
3. If your flocculant settles in the chemical tank, add tank mixing (see the NanoDose™ Aggitation Dosing Unit).
4. Plan for the settled sludge: pair with the NanoJet™ STANDARD Iron & Sludge Removal Kit, which filters the floc through AFM® glass and backwashes it out to waste on a timer.

Safety

Alum is an irritant and is acidic in solution. Wear gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when making up the solution.
