The additional chemicals enable or accelerate the separation process and, if needed, change the chemical characteristics of the suspension .
Benefits of additional chemicals:
- Slurry flocculation – the chemicals form very fine particles into bigger units (flocs), which settle and can be separated from the liquid (for more information about the clarification process click here)
- Increase in the dry solids content - adjustment of the medium characteristics can result in a greater weight proportion of the suspended solids in the final filtration cake
- Adjustment of chemical characteristics of suspension – pH and other characteristics can be adjusted by dosing chemicals
Main areas of use of additional chemicals:
- Treatment of service water (power engineering)
- Industrial wastewater treatment
- Municipal wastewater treatment
- Production and treatment of drinking water
- Processing of raw materials and minerals
- Metallurgical industry
- Food-processing industry
- Polymer flocculants mixing tanks
- Lime mixing tanks
- Chemicals storage tanks
- Accessories (bag cutters, hoppers and feeders, dosing pumps, measuring and control elements)
