Z Flocc™ Flocculants
Z Flocc™ line of emulsion and dry polyacrylamide flocculant products are high quality and include a broad range of chemistries — from highly cationic, to nonionic and highly anionic charged products. Sourced from leading manufacturers, the Z Flocc product line is selected for its application fit, quality and availability, based on years of selection and technical application experience.
Identification and selection of an optimum flocculant program is crucial for proper process performance and low costs. The qualification process generally entails lab-testing, using the appropriate procedures, selection of the products and consideration of their application nuances and requirements, and process trials. This requires experience and technical expertise. Flocculant chemistry knowledge is important, but incorporating process and operation understanding into the selection process is crucial to maximize process capabilities and minimize flocculant costs.
Key to proper flocculant selection and use is part art and part science, overlaid with robust experience and includes:
- Full range of high quality flocculants available to meet the needs of each application
- Full and complete understanding of the process, including process improvement and economic goals
- Lab evaluation, using procedures that appropriately and reasonably simulate the application
- Consideration of specific process operational characteristics and constraints in the final flocculant selection from a lab testing program
- Establishing proper plant trialing and evaluation procedures that incorporate statistical tools into the trial analyses
- Support operations in the proper application and management of the flocculant program
- Consideration of flocculant system mixing-feeding system and controls and whether the current system is limiting flocculant application effectiveness; consideration of a Z ChemGear system to maximize flocculant performance
