Sludge dewatering
Grade selection targets lower dosage, stable floc formation, higher cake dryness, and cleaner filtrate across presses and centrifuges.
Applications
Polymer selection from lab screening to plant trial.
Effective flocculation depends on more than product name. Molecular weight, charge density, feed solids, water chemistry, shear, hydration, equipment, and operating targets all shape the final grade recommendation.
Selection variables
What we look at before recommending a grade.
Water chemistrypH, conductivity, salinity, dissolved solids, organics, and competing ions.
Solids profileParticle size, mineral type, biological sludge behavior, oil content, and feed variability.
EquipmentClarifiers, DAF, gravity thickeners, belt presses, filter presses, and decanter centrifuges.
Operating targetSettling rate, supernatant clarity, cake dryness, throughput, dosage, and cost per treated volume.
Water treatment
Clarification and solids capture for municipal and industrial systems.
Organic coagulants and flocculants support settling, flotation, filtration, and sludge handling. Potable water applications can be supported with applicable listed grades and certification documentation.
Oil and gas
AMPS/ATBS and EOR polymer families are evaluated around salinity, temperature, permeability, viscosity, and field-specific compatibility.
Mining and mineral processing
Anionic polymers support settling, tailings clarification, process water recycling, and thickener performance in mineral operations.
Pulp and paper
Polyacrylamide products support retention, drainage, wastewater treatment, and process efficiency for virgin and recycled furnish systems.
Technical pathway
A practical route from sample to supply.
Define the process
Share the application, equipment, water chemistry, current polymer, dosage, and operating pain points.
Screen candidate grades
Run laboratory screening or sample comparison to narrow charge profile and molecular weight range.
Confirm in plant trial
Evaluate make-down, feed variability, shear response, performance, and handling before scaling supply.
