Best Answer

in waste water treatment some solid contaminants will settle out in settling basins or tanks leaving a pure water supernatant. If the particles are too small to settle either quickly or at all, chemicals (demulsifiers) are added to allow them to agglomerate (or coagulate) into large particles which will separate.
