PolyFloc AP1110

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: PolyFloc AP1110
• Product Type: Anionic, high molecular weight flocculant

Description and Use

PolyFloc AP1110 is an anionic, medium charge density, high molecular weight, polymeric flocculant. It is designed to function in industrial treatment programs as a coagulant aid or flocculant in clarification, thickening, and sludge dewatering processes. An NSF-certified version is available for potable applications.

This product is a free-flowing powder that provides a cost-effective solution for solids separation in influent and effluent water treatment. It produces a fast-settling floc, reducing carryover when used with inorganic or cationic polymeric coagulants.

Specific applications include:

• Settling iron oxide suspensions from steel industry wastewaters.
• Settling precipitated hydrous metals in finishing water wastes.
• Reducing fines in thickener effluents from blast furnace, steel mill scale, and BOP scrubber processes.
• Providing a clean effluent from automotive oily waste treatment.
• Increasing settling in chrome/cyanide destruction units and heavy metal separation systems.
• Reducing oil in refinery and other industrial wastewaters by improving air flotation unit and API separator efficiencies.
• Acting as a sludge dewatering aid, producing clean filtrate, high solids capture, and a drier cake in the steel industry and other markets.

Treatment and Feeding Requirements

PolyFloc AP1110 must be dissolved in water before use. The solution can be prepared in batch by adding the powder to the vortex of an agitated tank, using a dry powder feeder or an eductor. Do not add water to the dry polymer.

• Maximum practical solution concentration: 0.5% by weight.
• Dissolution time: Approximately one hour with air or low-speed (350 rpm) mechanical agitation until complete dissolution.
• Water temperature for dissolution: Warm water not exceeding 150°F (65°C) accelerates dissolution.
• Agitation after dissolution: Avoid high shear or excessive agitation.
• Solution use: Diluted solutions are recommended for use within 24 hours for maximum activity.
• Further dilution: For most applications, dilution to approximately 0.05% by weight (a 10:1 ratio) enhances performance. 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 (but not violent agitation). High-speed mixing decreases polymer activity. Positive displacement gear or piston pumps are recommended for transferring the solution.

Materials of Construction:

• Liquid-side components of tanks, pumps, and piping can be stainless steel or most plastics (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene).
• Mild steel is acceptable only if corrosion product contamination is not critical.
• Viton and Tygon rubbers are acceptable for pump components and hose linings.

Packaging Information

PolyFloc AP1110 is available as a dry powder in bags and drums. Consult your SUEZ representative for delivery and packaging alternatives.

Storage and Handling

• Store under dry, low humidity conditions.
• Seal opened containers before restorage.
• Spilled polymer is very slippery. Scoop and/or wipe up spills before flushing with copious amounts of water.
