This article reports on the results obtained in full‐scale parallel operation at the University of Iowa of two solids contact units at various concentrations of solids. This unit was designed for light turbidity and algae removal, lime‐soda softening, and industrial waste treatment. The article lists the operational variables used to control the functions of each unit and obtain the desired effluent quality and quantity. Details of the experimental procedure and results are discussed.
