How does flocculant work?

A demonstration of how flocculant works to bind together the fine particlesin waste sludge and allow for the recycling of 90% of the water on your washing plant when an Aquacycle thickener is specified

I must have bought the wrong floc for my pool. I tried some and 24 hrs later no change. This took what...
20 seconds to clear that to sludge at the bottom!

[@CDEGlobalCookstown]

pinkginger09 The waste at the bottom is the sludge that will settle to the bottom of the thickener tank. This is then pumped away from the thickener to a filter press / centrifuge or simply sent to waste storage ponds.

That’s satisfying

I really love this video. Would i know what chemical you used

[@franciskyeyune6921]

Hi, i have really loved this video. I would like to do a project on treatment of leachete coming from a land fill in my country i Africa( Before the leachate is allowed safely to enter into a water body ) using the easiest and cheap material(coagulant). Could you please advise me on which coagulant i could use besides, Alum? Thanks so much. Waiting for your reply.

@sarahisnorm The floc we are using here is polyelectrolyte

[@shock1official750]

Is this what flocc does to a cloudy pool?

[@CDEGlobalCookstown]

Stpshane1 - if you search google for 'flocculant suppliers' in whatever country you are located in it will show you details of your local suppliers

Hi, I'm looking for a chemical name that will help me with flocculant bor well water. i have a large water gound tank
I'm looking for chemicals that i can put in the tank that will help me muddy water anyone know something please help me

[@choonyauw]

Hi Peter , I wonder can Lime (Calcium Hydroxide or Ca(OH)2 ) does the same effect? Thanks

[@clairineangelicabucinnctsvt]

what is the name of the liquid you use to separate waste from the water?

[@CDEGlobalCookstown]

+Clairine angelica the specification of the flocculent will depend on the nature of the material being treated and this is assessed on a project by project basis. In this instance the flocculent is in powder form and is mixed with water in our FlocStaion plant to the desired concentration that will ensure maximum settlement of the solid particles. There are numerous different flocculent's that are used.

[@DrTiaJolie]

Is there such things as an anti-flocculant that will allow me to use the a storage tank for potable water after a flocculant was in it?

[@justindrew9702]

I think rinsing it with regular tap water is fine. Treated drinking water has flocculant added in the sterilisation process anyway

[@nicckyrajput6672]

Which chemicals you are using for this muddy water

[@Ireemo1]

Whats the chemistry behind flocculant?

[@CDEGlobalCookstown]

Hi Rim,
Flocculant causes the particles to flocculate or clump together. It can be considered a ‘high-tech rope’ which ties in the particles together. This increases the particle size and helps them to settle faster.

Are sugarcane juice scam remove by this chemical?

[@CDEGlobalCookstown]

Hi Narendra - I'd suggest that you contact SNF who supply the flocculent for this plant. They are best placed to advise on the correct chemical for your application.

[@shamexpense3168]

Which chemical are u used??

[@CDEGlobalCookstown]

Hi Sham, our solution uses a polyelectrolyte for settling solids from the process water, there are many types and simple testing is needed to ensure the correct one is used for each application. Please contact us at [e-mail] for further information.
Thanks,

[@pinkginger09]

So what do you do with the wast on the bottom?

[@ech_eff]

[@samkoz2045]

Eat it, or put it through a sieve whatever works.
