Abstract
In the study of mass transfer of substrate through floc particles, it is essential to have an estimate of floc size. This study presents floc size measurements made on pure culture bacterial floc and shows their applicability to mass transfer studies. A critical review of the biological literature on methods to size biological floc and determine wet floc density is also presented.
