Coagulation is a positive-negative ion process. Plant managers add chemicals with a positive charge. Negatively charged bacteria and dirt join with the chemical to form a floc molecule. A series of motors turns the water so that the floc molecule becomes increasingly larger. Spotlights show the relative sizes of the enlarging molecules.
