How Proper Polymer System Selection Results in Cleaner Water

To help comply with EPA wastewater regulations and reclaim valuable resources, chemical polymers are added to industrial clarifiers, settling ponds and other wastewater equipment at various stages of treatment to promote flocculation. The problem with this highly effective and economical method of removing suspended solids from wastewater is that not just any polymer will do. In fact, the polymer selected for the application and the preparation system that mixes and injects the product into the clarifier determines the quality of separation, the dryness of solids, and the amount and cost of polymer required.“Selecting the correct polymer, ensuring its proper preparation, and
