Polymer Flocculant

Available in Two Types

  • Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM)

  • Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM)

Scientific Name: Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) / Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM)

Chemical Formula: (C₃H₅NO)ₙ (Polymer structure varies depending on molecular weight and charge density.)

Polymer Flocculants are high-performance treatment chemicals designed to promote floc formation by binding suspended particles into larger, heavier flocs that settle rapidly. They improve water clarity and enhance the performance of primary coagulants such as Alum and PAC.

The product is available in Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) for potable water and clarification systems, and Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) for wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering applications.

When used together with a properly designed water treatment process and optimized dosing control, polymer can increase the production capacity of water treatment plants, improve settling efficiency, and enhance overall system performance.

Key Features

✓ Available in Anionic and Cationic formulations

✓ Accelerates floc formation and sedimentation

✓ Significantly reduces water turbidity

✓ Lowers Alum and PAC consumption

✓ Improves filtration system efficiency

✓ Reduces sludge generation in many treatment processes

✓ Increases water treatment plant production capacity when applied with proper system design and dosing control

✓ Suitable for municipal water treatment, wastewater treatment, and industrial applications

Product Characteristics

  • Appearance: Fine granules / Flake granules

  • Color: White to off-white

  • Form: Granular

  • Water Solubility: Water-soluble; pre-dissolution is recommended

Solution Characteristics After Dissolution

Once dissolved, the polymer solution becomes:

  • Cloudy in appearance

  • Highly viscous (sticky consistency)

  • Requires adequate mixing before dosing to achieve maximum flocculation performance

Recommended Solution Preparation

For optimal performance, prepare the polymer solution at a concentration of:

0.05 – 0.10% (based on water volume)

Equivalent to approximately:

  • 0.5 – 1.0 kg of polymer per 1,000 liters of water

The powder should be added slowly into agitated water and allowed sufficient aging time to ensure complete hydration and maximum flocculation efficiency.
