How Does Floc Bloc Remove Unwanted Material From Water?
A Floc Bloc is a semi-hydrated blended gel polyacrymalide and mineral block. It is a flocculant, an agent that when introduced into water carrying colloidal suspensions of natural and man-made pollutants causes the contaminants to clump together and drop out of suspension.
Floc Blocs are placed at strategic points where a site’s runoff can be directed to flow over them. The Floc Bloc is designed to be able to treat water at a base flow rate of 50 to 75 gallons per minute. Once situated and in contact with water, the Floc Blocs slowly dissolve releasing minute quantities of matter that convert colloidal suspen-sions of pollutants into an insoluble form that cannot remain in suspension and that cannot re-dissolve and go into the ecosystem.
It gets the pollutants and dirt out and they stay out allowing the water to be immedi-ately discharged. This increases the ease with which the pollutants may be collected and appropriately disposed of.
Features and Benefits
-
The prevention of removed pollutants from re-suspending
-
Reduced operational and clean-up costs
-
Increased soil permeability (pores are created by the agglomeration of fine particles)
-
A marked reduction in negative environmental impact and increased compliance with EPA regulations (including the Phase II Storm Water Act)
-
Remarkable ease of installation

Why Is Floc Bloc Best at Cleaning Dirty Water?
Because of the advanced chemistry behind Floc Blocs and the proprietary additives in Floc Blocs, each one can be specially formulated to work with the specific chemical profiles of the soil and water at the site where it will be used.
Testing the soil from the application site and determining the exact Floc Bloc to complement it’s soil is an innovative approach that stands in contrast to a onesize-fits-all, premixed product. Long lasting and economical, Floc Blocs are the NEXT GENERATION of effective storm water management.
