FLOMAR® C-1 (flocculante ad alta basicita')

Flocculante Inorganico
Poli-idrossi-cloro-solfato di Alluminio 10% Al2O3

FLOMAR C-1 is a liquid inorganic coalescent highly performing and completely soluble in water, whose active ingredient is a polymeric complex of hydroxyaluminium ions. Its high basicity is obtained through a basification process at low temperatures and makes the product suitable for the treatment of any type of water.

PROPERTIES

FLOMAR C-1 is supplied in aqueous solution in order to make the transport, the stocking and the dosage easier. In comparison with traditional coalescents with a lower basicity, its advantages are:
• Higher coalescent power due to the formation of bigger flocs with a consequent higher settling speed;
• Decanted sludge more easily filterable;
• High countdown in a wide pH range, which make the use of neutralizing agents as caustic sode or lime unnecessary;
• Less abatement of treated water pH;
• More reduction of turbidity at a parity of active ingredient expressed as Al2O3 with a consequent reagent-saving;
• Better performances even at low temperatures;
• In case of overdosage an increase in treated water turbidity is not registered, making it suitable for waters whose content of suspended solid changes suddenly and causally;
• A strong cutting action of the COD and of the phosphorus concentration in treated water places side by side the clarification.

USES

FLOMAR C-1 is in conformity with the category “Type 1” of the European Standard EN 883:1997 “Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption – Polyaluminium chloride hydroxide and Polyaluminium chloride hydroxide sulphate”, as well as the specific techniques of the Form UNICHIM C-5 “Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption – Polyaluminium chloride hydroxide sulphate”, so it can be used in plants for water potabilization with excellent results.

STABILITY

If it is well-preserved, FLOMAR C-1 can be considered stable. However, in order to preserve the product properties completely, it is recommended to clean carefully stocking tanks every maximum 12 months. It is also recommended not to keep the product more than 6 months.

USING PROCEDURES

FLOMAR C-1 can be dosed as it is or diluted. In this second case dilution water have to be distilled.

TRANSIT PACKING, STORAGE, HANDLING

FLOMAR C-1 is provided by tank trucks with a capacity of 28 tons.
All equipment being in contact with the product, from the storage to the dosage, have to be made of an antiacid material. For the handling and any other information about users' health, look at the Safety Form which have to be requested during the first order agreement.
