Chemtex’s Poly Electrolytes or Poly Acrylamides improve the performance of waste water process and clarifier operation, thus producing less carryover and foaming, lower B.D.P., drier sludge and removal of offensive odors.



Polyelectrolyte is a long chain of repeating monomers (electrolyte). They are available in white powder. Polyelectrolytes when dissolved in water get charged due to the presence of the electrolyte group, and hence they help in neutralization of the suspended colloids or the small flocs produced after coagulation. The high molecular weight of polyelectrolytes aid in fast settling of the flocs.  

There are 4 types of polyelectrolyte used in water treatment industries.
·         Anionic Polyelectrolyte –  Negatively charged.
·         Cationic Polyelectrolyte – Positively charged.
·         Nonionic Polyelectrolyte – No charge.
·         Amphoteric Polyelectrolyte– Contains both positively and negatively charged groups.

Dosage:

The amount of chemical required to perform depends on the type of application and product. The specific dosage rates and method will be specified by the CSL technical representative.

Application:
Organic or inorganic coagulants are used in different types of industries depending on their  feasibility efficiency, economic costs and the desired treatment of the industrial water.  The different kinds of applications of industrial coagulants are listed below.
 
  1. Municipal & Industrial Portable Water treatments
  2. Municipal & Industrial Waste Water treatments
  3. Sewage Water treatments
  4. Separation of slurry in Industrial processes
  5. Sizing in Paper & Pulp Industry
  6. Decolorisation of dyes in Textile Industry
  7. Industrial wastes
  8. Sludge treatment

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant Remember that pungent smell when mass disinfection of public places occurs. That same irritating smell you can relate to in swimming pools, and your eyes itch and redden, and your skin itches, and there is a big board saying “Chlorine in pool”, that’s hypochlorous acid, viz., when sodium hypochlorite breaks down. Sodium hypochlorite/ Hypo (NaOCl) is inorganic chlorine based liquid disinfectant, available as aqueous solutions of 5.25% - 6.15% (household bleach) or concentrated 12% NaOCl solutions. Large quantities are also used as a disinfectant in water and wastewater treatment and sanitary equipment. In food processing, sodium hypochlorite is used to sanitize food preparation equipment, in fruit and vegetable processing, mushroom production, hog, beef and poultry production, and fish processing. Typical Uses of Hypo: ·       2%: Shock Chlorination of Wells · ...

Role of Polyelectrolytes in Wastewater Treatment

  Effluent Treatment or Industrial wastewater treatment consists of mechanisms and processes which are used to treat water that have been contaminated by anthropogenic, industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment. Industrial wastewater serves as one of the important pollution sources that add up in polluting the water environment. The sewage sludge produced is subjected to sludge treatment. Many problems are associated with wastewater collection and treatment such as foaming, solid accumulation, high BOD, sludge de-watering, heavy metals and offensive odour.   But such treatments are no more complicated processes, since there are chemicals that are applicable for the treatment. These chemicals follow various treatment mechanisms in various different standards, which include from chemically treating raw wastewater before discharging it into the environment, to recovering valuable resources from sludge treatment and wastewater. Conventional tr...

Chemtex’s Propylene Glycol Corrosion Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical additive designed to prevent corrosion in multi-ways.

Metal surfaces are prone to corrosion very easily.But with the help of propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor this corrosion can be prevented. It buffers the organic acids formed as a result of glycol oxidation. Inhibited glycol based heat transfer fluids provides corrosion protection without reducing system’s heat transfer efficiency. In Glycol system glycol is degraded from time-to-time,so it is very much important to stop this degradation.Glycol in presence of heat and air degrades into five organic acids namely: Glycolic Acid, Glyoxalic Acid, Formic Acid, Carbonic Acid & Oxalic Acid. Metal acts as catalyst in un-inhibited glycol solution for the formation of these acids, which then chemically attacks and corrodes system. Propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor is also available in Pre Inhibited Propylene Glycol and normal Propylene Glycol Glycol turning Red. What does it indicate? Due to immense corrosion in system, the rust in the system metal makes the glycol turn r...
