Settling issues in wastewater treatment can arise due to factors like high suspended solids in influent, organic overloading, insufficient flocculation, hydraulic overloading, high grease content, and mixing inefficiencies. Poor settling can result in elevated suspended solids in effluent, impacting the overall quality of treated wastewater.
Settling Agent Concentrate is a cationic polymer flocculant designed to improve the separation of suspended solids from liquids in wastewater treatment. It promotes the settling of solid particles to the bottom, simplifying their removal from the liquid phase.
For Clarifiers or Settling Basins
Feed this settling agent directly into the waste stream prior to the clarifier or settling basin.
Drip or pump into the system at a point of strong agitation. Use rates may vary from 50 ppm up to 300 ppm (2 quarts up to 3 gallons per 10,000 gallons of wastewater).
For maximum economy and effectiveness, continuous drip application is recommended.
For Ponds or Lagoons
Drip or spray 10 to 20 gallons of settling agent per million gallons of water.
Drip directly into waste stream or stray over surface to obtain even distribution of the polymer.
See label and SDS for safety information.
