AVebe water purifiers
WISPROFLOC is the general name of three flocculating agents and flocculating aids: a non-ionic, a cationic and an anionic grade. These promote the flocculation by adsorption onto dispersed particles. In some cases, however, colloidal impurities are not fully flocculated unless a coagulating agent like lime, aluminium sulphate, iron sulphate or iron chloride is added to the water in advance. If coagulating agents already form a part of the process, the use of WISPROFLOC-grades may lead to an important reduction in the usual dosages of these agents.
WISPROFLOC-grades have a number of special properties:
- They easily dissolve in cold water
- They are non-corrosive
- They are harmless to health
- Their taste is neutral
- They are effective in a wide pH range
- Small doses of WISPROFLOC promote the sedimentation of dispersed impurities considerably
- Even very small impure particles which are normally caught on the filters are precipitated in sedimentation basins. This means a substantial relief of filter action and faster water transport
- Flocs formed by WISPROFLOC-grades are stable and will not form a slimy layer on the filter which could block the water passage
- WISPROFLOC-grades increase the capacity of water purification installations considerably
Important application fields are:
- Drinking water: The processing of surface water for conversion to drinking water
- Factory water: Treatment of mill water - steamboilers, and process water - born from surface water
- Industrial waste water: Treatment of waste water born from a.o. galvanic, metal processing industries, paper and cardboard mills, coal and ore mines and sugar mills
- Effluent water: Treatment of effluent water and sludge suspensions.
