Excellent Efficiency Flocculation with Polyelectrolyte


Polyelectrolytes are regarded as polymer chains with an electrolyte group on every repeat unit. When dissolved in a polar solvent, these polymers are charged due to dissociation of small counter ions that leave behind a charged macro ion. Polyelectrolytes include biologically important molecules such as polypeptides and DNA. These are referred to as polymers that are generally used for water purification. These are highly noted for their beneficiary nature of handling problems of slow settling of flocs in water at low temperature, treating soft colored water where they increase toughness of the flocs and enhance its settlement ability.

Polyelectrolytes are formulated in a way so as to be used as coagulants and flocculants as well as a sludge dewatering agent in the waste water treatment plants. Polyelectrolyte, thereby, plays an indispensable part in the sludge conditioner formulation.

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.

Excellent Efficiency 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. 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.

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.

Acid Coil Cleaner leaves the aluminum surface clean and shining bright

Improper refrigerant levels, dirty coils, and worn out compressors or condensers can result in inefficient performance of air conditioning system. An inefficient system tends to force the compressor to work harder than is required decreasing its life span and thereby leading to higher energy bills. The primary energy required in operating an air conditioning system comes from the compression of refrigerant. The hotter the compressor receives the processed refrigerant, the more energy is necessary to force it through the condenser. The refrigerant needs to become cold enough to absorb more heat from the process, therefore an external chiller such as an open evaporative condenser or air blast unit is required. It is crucial for effective air-conditioning operation that the condenser is able to easily reject heat through the cooling airflow and the heat exchanger coils. Energy consumption builds up as the refrigerant vapor pressure increases, where the refrigerant is not sufficien...

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...
