Pipe Flocculator

Pipe Reactor

Pipe Reactor is a mobile water treatment system that works with our flocculant in a controlled environment.

Pipe Reactor with Gel Flocculant block (Large)

At under 2.5 m in length, Pipe Reactor connects into any 2″,  3” or 4″ pump hose to treat up to 1,800 litres of silty water per minute by mixing it with our flocculant.

This innovative system is designed to house Clearflow Gel Flocculant™ blocks, precisely controlling mixing and reaction time through pump flow rate and hose length. The result is consistent, effective treatment of dirty water on site.

As silty water passes through the Pipe Reactor, fine suspended solids and other pollutants are bound together by Gel Flocculant, making them easier to capture, separate and remove before they can reach nearby watercourses.

When used alongside our Silt Capture Channel, the Pipe Reactor is particularly effective at polishing water and removing fine particles associated with clay soils.

Pipe Reactor applications include:

Pipe Reactor applications include:
  • Treating stubborn silty water from construction ponds, lagoons and waterbodies
  • Excavation pump out and dewatering
  • Wash bay water treatment
  • Quarrying operations
  • Improved settlement in attenuation ponds and lagoons
  • Pond clarification

Key Benefits

Modular water treatment for construction & remediation projects

Low cost

Water is treated for as little as 0.05- 0.09p* per m3 which brings a significant cost saving compared with traditional methods of water treatment such as hired tanks.

No infrastructure needed

Easy to install onsite, unscrew steel fittings to replace Gel Flocculant blocks.

Robust design, trusted for a decade

Made of heavy duty recycled PVC piping with steel fittings, it is built to last.

Mobile and adaptable

Sites are a dynamic and constantly changing environment. The Pipe Reactor is designed to be easily moved as site’s water treatment points evolve.

Reuse across multiple sites

A Pipe Reactor is a long-lasting bit of kit which can be reused across many sites, lowering your long term operational costs.

Rapid response & zero carbon delivery

Our team pride themselves on a quick turn around time and carbon neutral delivery service.

Technical specification of our Pipe Reactor:

Dimensions 2200mm (L), 250mm barrel, 4” bauer connections
Flow rate Max flow is 1,800 litres/minute. When it is used with a Silt Capture Channel, each channel has a typical max flow rate of 900 litres/minute. Optimal flow rate is site specific and effective treatment may require lower flow rates. Our technical team can help you with this.
Made from 100% recyclable materials. HDPE barrel, steel fittings
Use with Our Clearflow Gel Flocculant™ (comes in a solid gel block form for easy handling and replenishment)
Treatment rate Treatment rates vary depending on volume and frequency of water on site. Typically blocks last 30 days when pumped, longer when treatment is passive.

*Water treatment cost for a system using a Pipe Reactor and Silt Capture Channel is estimated at 0.09p per m3 of water in year one and 0.05p per m3 from year two onwards. Calculations are based on assumptions of flow rate at 1,800 l/min, operating 8 hours a day, 260 days per year at around c225k cubic metres of water.

“Thanks to Frog’s technical expertise and insight, we have found new ways to tackle these common issues and improve our site water management practices – from company-wide awareness and training to monitoring and prevention. As a consequence, we have made significant cost savings and lowered our carbon emissions.”

It’s good to see Frog getting involved with GT at the earliest stages of the project to help with planning out water management in advance of needing it.

“Frog Environmental were knowledgeable, helping to establish a workable, cost-effective and low maintenance solution for site approved by the regulator. They really understood the water management issues we had on site and worked with us to develop a solution which works, as well as engaging with our operatives to ensure that they could effectively manage the system.

We are delighted to have found a solution that prevents pollution and protects the environment, and ultimately allows us to continue with construction.”

The surface water system drainage feature utilised innovative solutions from Frog Environmental.

A rain-ready strategy was implemented, which enabled the development of a robust management system capable of effectively managing fluctuations in weather conditions year-round.

This provided a timely, sustainable and cost saving solution for our client.

They (Frog Environmental) were efficient in providing advice and the most appropriate product for our project. The team responded promptly to ensure the Bubble Curtain was delivered to the site on schedule.

It has worked well and has been great on site. We are demobilising this week, and the bubble curtain is already in store at our next site for reuse!

The Kex Gill road realignment scheme is a challenging project with multiple environmental risks including management of silt and water quality of the surrounding environment given the locality of designated sites.

Frog Environmental are providing us with extensive technical support, including the design, supply and install of their silt control products on site to ensure the project minimises risks to the watercourses in the project vicinity and prevents impact on highly sensitive aquatic species.

It’s great to be working with them and we’re delighted with the success of the whole project.
