Sedimentation is the separation of suspended solids from a liquid by gravity. As solids and particles fall out of liquid suspension and settle, they become sediment. This process, often referenced as settling, is regularly used in water and wastewater [...]
Polymers, also referenced as flocculants, are regularly used in water treatment to aid solid-liquid separation. They increase the speed and efficiency of solid-liquid separation and help dewater sludge. When using polymers, it is helpful to manage variables [...]
Settling basins, lagoons, or ponds are common ways to treat wastewater with suspended solids and colloids. Over time the particles will fall out of liquid suspension through sedimentation resulting in clean water for reuse. It’s widely used because it’s [...]
Clearwater Industries set a new record for the sale-to-install of our dry polymer make-down system. On March 26th, 2021, a large midwestern ethanol producer contacted us interested in our M800SS Dry Polymer Make-Down System. A shortage of emulsion polymer [...]
Polymers are everywhere. Nearly every product we touch contains polymers, from a wood desk to plastic water bottles. They're likely in whatever you're using to read this post. However, they don't just make products. Specific, water-soluble polymers are widely [...]
Polymers are an important part of wastewater treatment because they help separate solids from liquids through flocculation. They're a chemical compound that comes as a dry granular polymer or an emulsion polymer, also known as a liquid polymer. Dry [...]
