DESCRIPTION
P-FLOC 77 is a liquid cationic polyelectrolyte
of medium molecular weight. It works effectively as a primary coagulant
and coagulant aid in water clarification and as a primary coagulant and
coagulant aid in water clarification and as a dewatering aid in industrial
waste sludges.
P-FLOC 77 is also useful in other solid-liquid separation such as secondary
clarifiers, settling of product stream and clarifying emulsions.
P-FLOC 77 affect agglomeration of suspended solids through a combination
of the following mechanisms :-
- Neutralisation of the electrical repulsive forces surrounding particles
suspended in the water phase;
- Absorption of the long chain, medium molecular weight polymers onto the
particle surfaces and then bridging of adjacent particles by the polymer
chains.
ADVANTAGES
- Easy to apply; pourable liquid which simplifies dilution, feed and handling
operations.
- Economical; effective at low dosage levels resulting in reduced handling
and storage costs.
- Reduces the need for post pH adjustment and works over a wide pH range.
