What We Do
Inorganic Flocculants
Metal Salts: Inorganic flocculants such as aluminum sulfate (alum), ferric chloride, and ferrous sulfate are commonly used in water treatment. These metal salts destabilize particles through charge neutralization and form insoluble hydroxide flocs, which can be easily removed.
Silicates:Sodium silicate and other silicate compounds are used as flocculants in certain industrial applications, particularly in wastewater treatment and mineral processing.
Organic Flocculants
Polyelectrolytes: Organic flocculants, also known as polyelectrolytes, are synthetic polymers with high molecular weights. They can be cationic, anionic, or nonionic, and they function by adsorbing onto particle surfaces and forming bridges between particles to facilitate flocculation.
Polyacrylamides (PAM): Polyacrylamide-based flocculants are widely used in water and wastewater treatment due to their high efficiency and versatility. They can be linear or cross-linked polymers and are available in various molecular weights and charge densities.
Natural Flocculants
Chitosan: Chitosan, derived from chitin found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans, is a natural flocculant with cationic properties. It is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for certain water treatment applications.
Starch and Cellulose Derivatives: Natural polymers such as starch and cellulose derivatives can be used as flocculants in some applications, particularly in industries where biodegradability and environmental sustainability are prioritized.
Composite Flocculants
Hybrid Polymers: Composite flocculants combine inorganic and organic components to achieve enhanced flocculation performance. These hybrid polymers may incorporate metal ions, such as aluminum or iron, along with organic polymer chains to improve floc formation and settling properties.
Inorganic-Organic Blends: Blends of inorganic and organic flocculants are sometimes used to optimize flocculation processes in specific water treatment applications, tailoring the formulation to the characteristics of the water and the contaminants present.
Specialty Flocculants
High Molecular Weight Flocculants: Specialty flocculants with exceptionally high molecular weights are used in applications where rapid settling or dewatering is required, such as sludge dewatering and solid-liquid separation processes.
Rapid Flocculants: Some flocculants are designed for rapid flocculation kinetics, allowing for faster particle aggregation and
settling in high-rate clarification processes.

Sector Usage
Industrial Sector
Water Treatment: Flocculants are used in industrial water
treatment processes to remove suspended solids, colloids, and other
impurities from wastewater generated by industrial operations. This
ensures compliance with environmental regulations and reduces the
environmental impact of industrial discharges.
Process Optimization: In industrial processes such as chemical
manufacturing, pulp and paper production, and textile dyeing, flocculants
may be used to improve process efficiency, product quality, and
wastewater treatment.
Agricultural Sector
Irrigation Water Treatment: Flocculants are applied in agricultural water
treatment to remove suspended solids, organic matter, and pathogens from
irrigation water. This ensures the quality and safety of water used for
crop irrigation, reducing the risk of crop contamination and disease
spread.
Livestock Farming: Flocculants may be used in livestock farming
operations to treat wastewater from animal husbandry activities, reducing
nutrient runoff and environmental pollution
Food and Beverage Sector
Process Water Treatment: Flocculants are used in the food and beverage
industry for the treatment of process water, including water used in
beverage production, food processing, and sanitation processes. They help
remove suspended solids, organic matter, and contaminants, ensuring the
quality and safety of food and beverage products.
Wastewater Treatment: In food and beverage manufacturing facilities,
flocculants are applied in wastewater treatment processes to remove
pollutants and organic matter from wastewater before discharge or reuse.
Hospitality Sector
Water Treatment: Flocculants may be used in hospitality
facilities, such as hotels, resorts, and restaurants, for the treatment
of water used in swimming pools, spa facilities, and water features. They
help clarify and disinfect water, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience
for guests.
Wastewater Management: In hospitality establishments, flocculants are
employed in wastewater management systems to treat wastewater generated
from guest activities, kitchen operations, and laundry facilities,
reducing environmental impact and regulatory compliance risks.
Mining Sector
Wastewater Treatment: In mining wastewater treatment, flocculants
are employed to remove suspended solids, heavy metals, and other
contaminants from mine effluents before discharge into the environment.
This helps mitigate the environmental impact of mining activities and ensures
compliance with regulatory requirements.
Tailings Management: Flocculants are used in the management of
mining tailings to facilitate sedimentation and dewatering, reducing the
volume of tailings and minimizing the risk of environmental
contamination.
