Novus CE1657

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: Novus* CE1657
• Description: Cationic emulsion polymer

Description and Use

Novus CE1657 is a liquid, high molecular weight cationic emulsion polymer designed for solid/liquid separation applications and sludge dewatering in industrial wastewater. It is particularly effective in the organic chemical, oil refining, steel, aluminum, food, and pharmaceutical industries.

Key Benefits:

• Increases efficiency of sludge dewatering operations
• Improves suspended solids removal and effluent quality
• Offers improved cost/performance
• Produces shear-resistant floc
• Is an easily fed liquid emulsion
• Results in higher solids capture, drier cake, cleaner effluent, and increased throughput

Treatment and Feeding Recommendations

Initial Preparation

• Thoroughly agitate neat Novus CE1657 with a drum mixer or recirculating pump for 30 to 60 minutes before initial use to ensure homogeneity.
• Remix the polymer for several minutes daily. Bulk system recirculation should operate for 30 to 60 minutes daily.
• Avoid water contamination in open containers.

Stock Solutions Preparation

• Continuous Emulsion Make Down Unit: Required concentration for inversion is 0.5% to 1.0%. Further dilute to an application-appropriate concentration.
• Batch System:
  1. Fill the solution preparation tank with water until the agitator blade is fully immersed.
  2. Begin agitation and slowly add premixed polymer through a disperser or directly into the vortex. Do not add water to polymer.
  3. Continue filling with water to achieve a 0.5% to 1.0% solution.
  4. Mix at low speed (350 rpm) for an additional 10 to 20 minutes to complete activity development. Avoid high-speed agitation.
  5. Transfer the stock solution to a holding tank, further diluting to approximately 0.2% before the point of application.
  6. Continuous feed is recommended.

Mechanical / Hydraulic

Pumping Neat Polymer

• Can be handled with appropriately sized gear or diaphragm pumps suitable for viscosities up to approximately 1500 cps.

Materials of Construction

• Satisfactory: Type 304 or 316 stainless steel, Teflon, PE/PP for tanks, tubing, piping, and pumps.
• Pump Components/Hose Linings: Viton, fluoro-silicon type rubbers.
• Short-Term Installations: Flexible PVC tubing (e.g., Tygon), Buna-N, Neoprene rubber.
• Not Recommended for Permanent Applications: Flexible PVC tubing, Buna-N, Neoprene rubber.
• Use with Caution (Discoloration Tolerable): Mild steel, copper alloys.

Stock Solutions Handling

• Handle with the same materials of construction as neat polymer.
• Positive displacement pumps (gear or piston) can be used for metering.

Bulk Tank Storage

• Should include a desiccant and recirculation system.
• Install according to standard tank installation instructions.

Storage and Handling

• Storage Temperature: 4 to 32°C. Protect from freezing.
• Bulk Container Protection: Insulate against extreme heat, cold, and temperature variation.
• Neat Polymer: Recirculate or mix periodically (one container volume per day) to avoid product separation.
• Shelf Life: Six months recommended.
• Spill Cleanup:
  • Small spills: Wash down with copious amounts of water.
  • Large spills: Contain and absorb on inert material, dispose of as solid waste, then flush with water.
  • In wet areas: Use sand, grit, or suitable material for traction.
