Polymer flocculants and coagulants reduce repulsive forces via charge neutralization and bridging. However, current polymer-based technologies struggle to meet specific requirements:
– settling time
– turbidity of the recovered water
– dewaterability
– solids content of the sediments
IMI’s BioClear 3K product is a specially formulated coagulant designed for high solids applications, such as mine tailings or drilling operations, where strong coagulant is needed in order to neutralize the charge differences between small particles and assist in improving the flocculation process. BioClear 3K is an environmentally friendly coagulant- with an LC50 of over 800 L/m3. With a dosage rate of 0.5-1%, this product is considered non-toxic for aquatic life.
