PolyFloc CE1154

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: PolyFloc CE1154
• Product Type: High molecular weight flocculant
• Manufacturer: Water Technologies & Solutions (SUEZ)

Description and Use

PolyFloc CE1154 is a cationic, polymeric, high charge density, high molecular weight flocculant. It is designed for use in industrial treatment programs as a coagulant-aid or flocculant in clarification, emulsion breaking, and sludge dewatering processes.

Key features include:

• Cost-effective liquid
• Effective emulsion breaker
• Dewatering of sludges, particularly biological and oily solids
• Effective in various wastewater applications

It produces a fast-settling floc, reduces carryover, and mitigates bulking problems in secondary clarifiers. The product exhibits strong emulsion-breaking properties, making it beneficial for oily wastewater treatment units, especially flotation units. For sludges with a high charge demand, such as biological and oily sludges, it provides cost-effective conditioning, resulting in a clean filtrate, high solids capture, and a drier cake, potentially lowering transportation and disposal costs.

Treatment and Feeding Requirements

PolyFloc CE1154 must be dissolved in water before use.

• Preparation: Add the premixed 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: Use low speed (350 rpm) mechanical agitation until complete dissolution. Avoid high shear or excessive agitation after dissolution.
• Solution Stability: Diluted solutions are recommended for use within 24 hours for maximum activity.
• Continuous Systems: Continuous makedown systems are available and may offer more reliable results.
• Further Dilution: Further dilution to approximately 0.1% enhances 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 (avoiding violent agitation). High-speed mixing decreases polymer activity.
• Transfer Pumps: Pumps for transferring the solution should be positive displacement gear or piston pumps.

Materials of Construction

• Liquid-side components: 316 stainless steel or most plastics are acceptable, with the exception of LD polyethylene and polypropylene.
• Mild steel and 304 stainless steel: Acceptable only if corrosion product contamination is not a critical issue.
• Elastomers: Viton and Tygon rubbers are acceptable for pump components and hose linings.

Packaging Information

PolyFloc CE1154 is available as a liquid emulsion in various containers. Consult your SUEZ representative for delivery and packaging options.

Storage and Handling

• Temperature: Store at moderate temperatures between 45 to 95°F (7 to 35°C). Protect from freezing.
• Outdoor Storage: Bulk containers may require insulation and heat tracing if stored outdoors.
• Neat Polymer: Recirculate or mix neat polymer periodically to prevent separation. Recirculate one container volume per day.
• Spill Cleanup: 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, and disposed of as solid waste before flushing with water.
