PolyFloc AE1147

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: PolyFloc AE1147
• Product Type: High molecular weight flocculant
• Description: Nonionic, high molecular weight, polymeric flocculant designed for use as a coagulant aid or flocculant in clarification, thickening, and sludge dewatering processes. It is a liquid emulsion.

Description and Use

PolyFloc AE1147 is a liquid emulsion used in industrial water treatment programs for solids separation in influent and effluent water. It is designed to:

• Function as a coagulant aid or flocculant.
• Produce a fast-settling floc, reducing carryover when used with inorganic or cationic polymeric coagulants.
• Settle iron oxide suspensions from steel industry wastewaters and precipitated hydrous metals in finishing water wastes.
• Reduce fines in blast furnace, steel mill scale, and BOP scrubber thickener effluents.
• Provide a clean effluent from automotive oily waste treatment processes.
• Increase settling in chrome/cyanide destruction units and heavy metal separation systems.
• Reduce oil in refinery and other industrial wastewaters by improving air flotation unit and API separator efficiencies.
• Serve as a sludge dewatering aid, producing clean filtrate, high solids capture, and a drier cake.

Treatment and Feeding Requirements

• Preparation: Must be dissolved in water before use. Add polymer slowly to the vortex of an agitated tank. Do not add water to the neat polymer.
• Initial Concentration: Recommended initial makedown solution concentration is 0.5% (range 0.3% to 1%).
• Agitation: Low speed (350 rpm) mechanical agitation should be used until complete dissolution. Avoid high shear or excessive agitation once dissolved.
• Solution Stability: Diluted solutions should be used within 24 hours for maximum activity.
• Continuous Systems: Continuous makedown systems can be used for more reliable results.
• Application Dilution: Further dilution to approximately 0.1% enhances polymer performance in most applications. For dewatering applications, dilution to approximately 0.25% may be more practical.
• Feeding: Diluted product can be fed by pump, eductor, or gravity flow to a point of good mixing (not violent agitation). High-speed mixing decreases polymer activity. Positive displacement gear or piston pumps are recommended for transfer.
• Materials of Construction:
  • Liquid-side components of tanks, pumps, and piping: Stainless steel or most plastics are acceptable, except LD polyethylene and polypropylene. Mild steel is acceptable only if corrosion product contamination is not critical.
  • Pump components and hose linings: Viton and Tygon are acceptable.

Packaging Information

PolyFloc AE1147 is a liquid emulsion product available in various containers. Consult your SUEZ representative for alternatives.

Storage and Handling

• Storage Temperature: Store at moderate temperatures of 45 to 100°F (7 to 38°C). Protect from freezing.
• Bulk Storage: Bulk containers should be insulated and heat traced if necessary for outdoor storage.
• Neat Polymer: Recirculate or mix periodically to avoid product separation. Recirculate one container volume per day.
• Spills: Spilled polymer is very slippery. Small spills can be washed down with copious amounts of water. Large spills should be contained, absorbed on inert material, disposed of as solid waste, and then flushed with water.
