High performance Flocculation with Polyelectrolyte

Polyelectrolytes are designed to be used as coagulants and flocculants as well as a sludge dewatering agent in the waste water treatment plants. Polyelectrolyte, thereby, plays an important part in the sludge conditioner formulation. These are referred to as polymers that are generally used for water purification. It is highly noted for its beneficiary nature of handling problems of slow settling of flocs in water at low temperature, treating soft colored water where they increases toughness of the flocs and enhance its settlement ability.

Generally flocculation occurs owing to charges present on the particles. Generally, Polyelectrolyte can be differentiated into 3 types based on the charge present on it. These are Non-Ionic Polyelectrolyte, Anionic Polyelectrolyte, and Cationic Polyelectrolyte.  In practical cases, charges are present on the impurity particles and electrostatic interaction occurs between these particles and polyelectrolyte.



Chemtex Speciality Limited manufactured product Polyelectrolyte serves as a strong cationic radical polymer based coagulant that has been specially designed for complete or partial settling of water soluble matters, organics, and suspended solids in the effluent water through electro neutralization and bridging absorption. Bridging absorption takes place when long chain polymers get absorbed on the particles in a pattern such that it forms loops and tails extending some way in the solution. At this stage, particles are said to be re-stabilized. Absorbed amount must be optimum otherwise enough bridging contacts could not get formed. This consideration leads to the need for an optimum dosage of the product for formation of bridging flocculation.

High performance Flocculation with Polyelectrolyte is a well known function of this product that is offered by Chemtex Speciality Limited. It acts as a decolorant, and is effective in algae growth inhibition and organics removal. It can completely replace Alum or PAC. It usually enjoys a small dosage but can be responsible in causing big flocs, low turbidity residues and rapid precipitation. Polyelectrolyte can be safely used for the disinfection of potable water. It finds applications in variable sectors such as water treatment, mining, cosmetics, textiles, soil treatment, paper making, oil industries, etc.

RO Antiscalant

Reverse Osmosis serves as one of the most critical processes that are involved in the process water treatment to clean water, utilized in various industrial process applications. Reverse Osmosis can be regarded as the process wherein semi-permeable membranes help in separating purified water from contaminated water. It occurs when a pressure is applied to the concentrated side of the membrane resulting in forcing purified water to the dilute side. Reverse Osmosis is very efficient for the treatment of brackish, surface and ground water for both large and small flow applications. Some examples of industries that use RO water include boiler feed water, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, metal finishing and semiconductor manufacturing to mention a few. The overall performance of a reverse osmosis system relies on various factors like feed water quality, membrane type, flow control, temperature and pressure. Systems must be well maintained for ensuring effective performance with any

Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) Coolant

Optimal use of machines is directly proportional to its engine performance. What an engine does is it converts the supplied energy into its mechanical form, driving the machine to work. Engines require one-third of total heat that is generated during conversion and the rest of the heat is needed to be evacuated from the combustion chamber which would otherwise lead to engine failure. Earlier, water was preferred as an ideal coolant for quite a period of time but the problem started to arise when the temperature would become extremely high or low, to be precise temperature more than 100 ° C and below 0°C. To get rid of this problem, coolants were formulated. Coolants are categorized chemicals that increases the boiling point of the fluid and decreases the freezing point of the fluid to make it suitable for use in extreme heat and freezing conditions. Coolants are a proportionate mixture of antifreeze and solvent, mainly glycol and water. Ideally utilized as a preventive in

Antiscalant Chemical for RO Plant

  Reverse Osmosis System is a revolutionary invention to treat water and provide an effective solution for purifying water in various applications. The performance of RO can be ensured by the formation of scale and deposits on the membranes, leading to reduced efficiency and increased operational costs.   To prevent this issue, antiscalant chemicals play an important role in reducing the formation of scale and maintaining optimal RO Plant performance. Reverse Osmosis is widely used in various industries to treat water and to remove impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. The dense, thin, and semi-permeable layer allows water molecules to pass through while rejecting dissolved solids, and other impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. But the major issue that surfaces in such systems is the formation of scales due to the build-up of dissolved minerals and salts on the surface of the RO Membrane.
