Description
Flocculants for sludge dewatering—mainly based on polyacrylamide polymers—are widely utilized in the water treatment industry, particularly for municipal sewage treatment, industrial effluent, food processing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and mining sludge. These flocculants significantly accelerate the sedimentation and consolidation of fine suspended solids, enabling faster and cleaner sludge separation processes.
Key Functional Areas:
-
Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs)
-
Food and Beverage Industry Wastewater
-
Oil Refineries and Petrochemical Plants
-
Textile and Dyeing Industry Sludge
-
Mining and Metallurgy Sludge Systems
Application Method
To ensure optimal flocculation and dewatering, follow these usage guidelines:
-
Solution Preparation: Mix the product with clean water to form a 0.1%–0.3% solution.
-
Dissolution Technique: Stir gently at 50–250 rpm for uniform dispersion; avoid vigorous mixing.
-
Dissolution Temperature: Warm water (below 50°C) can accelerate the process.
-
Dosing Equipment: Use non-metallic, corrosion-resistant equipment.
-
Injection Point: Add solution just before the sludge enters the thickener or centrifuge.
Packaging, Storage & Shelf Life
-
Packaging: 25 kg per moisture-proof bag; customized bulk packaging available.
-
Storage: Store in a dry, cool, and ventilated area, away from sunlight and moisture.
-
Shelf Life: 2 years under recommended storage conditions.
Sustainability and Safety
-
Low Toxicity: Environmentally compatible and safe for operators.
-
Eco-Label Support: Available with biodegradable and green certification upon request.
-
Handling Precautions: Use gloves, avoid inhalation of powder, and refer to MSDS before use.
