Description

Polyelectrolytes are water-soluble polymers used to improve the separation of solids and liquids by causing suspended particles to clump together (flocculation).

1. Water and Wastewater Treatment
Drinking water purification
Municipal wastewater treatment
Industrial effluent treatment
Sludge dewatering

Purpose: Removes suspended solids and improves water clarity.

2. Mining Industry
Mineral processing
Tailings thickening
Solid-liquid separation

Purpose: Enhances recovery of valuable minerals and reduces water usage.

3. Paper and Pulp Industry

Fiber retention
Drainage improvement

Purpose: Increases paper quality and production efficiency.

4. Textile Industry
Wastewater treatment
Dye removal
Water recycling
5. Oil and Gas Industry
Produced water treatment
Drilling fluid treatment
Oil-water separation
6. Food and Beverage Industry
Sugar clarification
Juice clarification
Food processing wastewater treatment
7. Chemical Manufacturing
