Novus CE1683

Summary

Product Identification

• Product Name: Novus* CE1683
• Product Type: Cationic emulsion polymer

Description and Use

Novus CE1683 is a liquid, high molecular weight, low-to-medium charge density cationic emulsion polymer designed for solid/liquid separation and sludge dewatering applications in industrial wastewater. It is particularly effective in the organic chemical, oil refining, steel, aluminium, food, and pharmaceutical industries.

Benefits include:

• Increases efficiency of sludge dewatering operations.
• Improves suspended solids removal operations and effluent quality.
• Higher solids capture.
• Drier cake.
• Cleaner effluent.
• Increased throughput.
• Improved cost/performance.
• Easily fed liquid emulsion.

Treatment and Feeding Recommendations

Preparation

• Initial Use: Agitate thoroughly with a drum mixer or recirculating pump for 30 to 60 minutes to ensure homogeneity.
• Daily: Remix the polymer for several minutes. Bulk system recirculation systems should operate for 30 to 60 minutes daily.
• Contamination Avoidance: Prevent water contamination from condensation or rain in open containers.

Stock Solutions Preparation

• Method: Can be prepared using a continuous emulsion make-down unit or a batch system.
• Concentration for Inversion: 0.5% to 1.0% in a continuous system.
• Batch System:
  1. Fill the solution preparation tank with water until the agitator blade is fully immersed.
  2. Begin agitating and slowly add the premixed polymer (do not add water to polymer).
  3. Continue filling the tank 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.
  6. Further dilute to approximately 0.2% before the point of application.
• Feed Recommendation: Continuous feed is recommended.

Pumping and Materials of Construction

• Neat Polymer (viscosities up to ~1500 cps): Use appropriately sized gear or diaphragm pumps.
• Suitable Materials: Type 304 or 316 stainless steel, Teflon, PE/PP for tanks, tubing, piping, and pumps. Viton and fluoro-silicon type rubbers for pump components and hose linings.
• Short-Term Use Materials: Flexible PVC tubing (e.g., Tygon), Buna-N, and Neoprene rubber.
• Materials to Avoid (unless discoloration is acceptable): Mild steel and copper alloys.
• Stock Solutions: Handle with the same materials of construction as neat polymer.
• Metering: Positive displacement pumps (gear or piston) can be used.

Bulk Tank Storage

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

Packaging Information

Novus CE1683 is a liquid emulsion product available in a variety of containers.

Storage and Handling

• Storage Temperature: 4°C to 32°C. Protect from freezing.
• Bulk Containers: Insulate to protect from extreme heat, cold, and temperature variations.
• Product Separation: Neat polymer should be recirculated or mixed periodically. Recirculate one container volume per day.
• Shelf Life: Six months.
• Spill Cleanup:
  • Spilled polymer is very slippery; take precautions.
  • Small spills: Wash down with copious amounts of water.
  • Large spills: Contain, absorb on inert material, dispose of as solid waste, then flush with water. Use sand or grit in wet areas for traction.
