This work monitored advection flow through a floc by bubble tracking. Close examination of the motion of a swarm of hydrogen bubbles that passed over a free-falling floc allowed the extent of advection flow to be estimated at 53% for the original activated sludge floc, and 12% for the flocculated floc. The interior permeability of the sludge flocs was estimated from this information. The fluid force exerted on the falling floc was also considered.

Hydrodynamic drag force exerted on flocculated sewage sludge floc
Cationic polyelectrolyte flocculated sewage sludge flocs were hung on an elastic nylon stick, and then subjected to a uniform water flow. Their consequent displacements were then measured. The…

Advantages to microbes of growth in permeable aggregates in marine systems1
Highly porous microbial aggregates occur in a variety of environments ranging from marine snow in oceans to floes in biological reactors. For permeable aggregates undergoing gravitational settling or…
Bioflocculation as a microbial response to substrate limitations
TLDR
Bioflocculation is found to increase the rate of substrate transport to cells in permeable floes compared to dispersed cells, particularly for large‐molecular‐weight substrates and when bubbles are present.
