A polymeric flocculant infused silt fence assembly comprising two opposing
and attached geo-textile sheets, each adapted to filter entrained
non-colloidal particles and together encasing a layer of polymeric
flocculant material. In a preferred embodiment the polymeric flocculant
material comprises anionic polyarylmide. A turbid water flow having a
suspension of colloidal particles is flowed through the first geo-fabric
sheet, which filters any entrained non-colloidal particles. The polymeric
flocculant material coagulates a portion of the colloidal particles and
forms flocs. The second geo-fabric sheet filters remaining entrained
non-colloidal particles, including the coagulated flocs.
