Principal Uses
The AQ 200 Series coagulants are highly effective cationic polymers recommended for the following liquid-solid separation processes:
|
Water Clarification – improves influent, process and effluent water quality by reducing color, suspended solids and turbidity. |
|
Dissolved air flotation – result in clearer subnatant, increased float solids, and greater throughput. |
|
Belt filter, centrifuge, screw press de-watering – for use as the Primary coagulant in dual polymer programs to increase production rates, cake solids and solid capture. |
|
Filtration – improve filtered water quality and plant throughput |
The above are the primary applications for these products. These products may be beneficial in any liquid-solid separation process.
Application
AQ 200 Series
coagulants should be metered to the system by use of a corrosion resistant, positive displacement pump. For maximum effectiveness, add dilution water at a ratio of at least 10:1. Best results are obtained by dispersing feed stream and promoting high turbulence for rapid mixing beyond the application point. Maximum residence time before the separation process yields improvedefficiency. Feeding recommendations tailored to your location can be obtained from your AQUAMARK sales representative.
Health and Safety
These products can irritate the eyes and skin. Rubber gloves, goggles and protective clothing are recommended for use while handling. They are not acutely toxic by oral and dermal administration to laboratory animals though eye irritation did result. See the corresponding AQUAMARK Material Safety Data Sheet for complete safety, health and environmental data.
Handling and Storage
Recommended materials of construction include stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic and glass or epoxy-lined vessels. Do not use iron, copper or aluminum. Spilled polymer is slippery and should be flushed with water. The shelf life of these products is 12-24 months when stored at temperatures between 5-300C. If the material freezes, thaw and mix before use.
