Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer la proportion appropriée d'injection d'un coagulant injecté dans un liquide de départ contenant une matière en suspension. Le procédé d'agglutination comprend : une étape d'injection servant à injecter le coagulant dans le liquide de départ contenant de la matière en suspension ; une étape d'agitation servant à faire s'écouler le liquide de départ dans lequel le coagulant a été injecté dans un agitateur à haute vitesse (1), faisant tourner la palette d'agitation (8) de l'agitateur à haute vitesse (1) à une vitesse de rotation d'au moins 500 min-1 pour agiter le liquide de départ ; une étape de mesure optique servant à obtenir une valeur de mesure optique par une lumière rayonnante au niveau du liquide de départ mélangé ; une étape d'analyse numérique servant à obtenir une valeur d'analyse numérique au moyen d'analyses numériques de la valeur de mesure optique ; et une étape de détermination de la proportion d'injection servant à déterminer la proportion appropriée d'injection en coagulant sur la base de la valeur d'analyse numérique.
