PolyFloc AP1110P

Summary

Product identification

PolyFloc AP1110P is an anionic, medium charge density, high molecular weight, polymeric flocculant.

Description and use

PolyFloc AP1110P is designed for use in industrial water treatment programs as a coagulant aid or flocculant in clarification, thickening, and sludge dewatering processes.

• NSF-certified for potable applications up to 1 mg/L (1 ppm).
• Cost-effective powder.
• Reduces floc carryover.
• Increases throughput.
• Produces a fast-settling floc.
• Effective in settling iron oxide suspensions from steel industry wastewaters and precipitated hydrous metals in finishing water wastes.
• Reduces fines in blast furnace, steel mill scale, and BOP scrubber thickener effluents.
• Provides a clean effluent from automotive oily waste treatment processes.
• Increases settling in chrome/cyanide destruction units and heavy metal separation systems.
• Can be used to reduce oil in refinery and other industrial wastewaters by improving air flotation unit and API separator efficiencies.
• Excellent sludge dewatering aid producing clean filtrate, high solids capture, and a drier cake.

Treatment and feeding requirements

• Must be dissolved in water before use.
• Maximum practical solution concentration is 0.5% by weight.
• Dissolution by slow addition to the vortex of an agitated tank, using a dry powder feeder or an eductor. Do not add water to the dry polymer.
• Complete dissolution is accomplished in about one hour with air or low speed (350 rpm) mechanical agitation.
• Dissolution is accelerated with warm water, not to exceed 150°F (65°C).
• Avoid high shear or excessive agitation once dissolved.
• Recommended that diluted solutions be used within 24 hours for maximum activity.
• Further dilution of the stock solution to approximately 0.05% by weight (10:1 ratio) enhances performance in most applications. For dewatering applications, diluting to approximately 0.25% may be more practical.
• Diluted product can be fed by pump, eductor, or gravity flow to a point of good mixing (not violent agitation).
• Pumps used to transfer the solution should be positive displacement or gear/piston pumps.
• Liquid-side components can be constructed of 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.

General properties
