FlocBot
FlocBot provides an automated floc monitoring system that gives water treatment plants continuous, objective insights into coagulation processes. The platform combines automated jar testing hardware with data analysis software, replacing manual observation with consistent flocculation behavior tracking. Operators use the system to make more confident treatment decisions based on clearer process data and measurable comparisons.

Problem
Water treatment plants rely on manual floc observation and periodic jar testing to assess coagulation performance, which is subjective, time-consuming, and provides only intermittent snapshots of process conditions. This makes it difficult for operators to respond quickly to changing raw water quality, evaluate treatment changes effectively, or compare performance consistently over time.
Solution
FlocBot automates floc monitoring by integrating a hardware system with software that captures and analyzes flocculation behavior continuously. The system, which builds on the RoboJar testing technology, provides treatment plants with objective, measurable data on floc formation and settling characteristics. Operators access this information through a platform that translates testing data into clear process insights, supporting more confident coagulant dosing decisions and treatment optimization. The solution is designed for practical use in real treatment environments, minimizing maintenance requirements and fitting into existing workflows without disrupting plant operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are drinking water treatment plant operators and utilities seeking practical tools for coagulation control, as well as water treatment engineers and researchers evaluating flocculation performance or coagulant optimization strategies.
