APPLICATIONS

 



  ChemSorb® Sorbent Powder is an advanced, surface water turbidity and silt sorption and

  flocculation product developed for municipal drinking water plants and industrial pumping stations. stations.
  Auger or slurry fed, product doses of 2-3lb/1000 gal of surface water is used (higher turbidity

  water requires higher doses). The sorbed/flocculated solids are granular (1.2-1.4 Sp. Gravity,

  w/water = 1.00); readily settle; and easily dewaters.

 

 

USES

 

  • Drinking water-Alum & polymer flocculation chemistry replacement.

  • Turbidity, silt, algae (bio-particle) & TOCs removal from surface water.

  • Enhances clarification performance; decreases filter bed solids loading.

BENEFITS

 

 

  • BETTER SOLID/LIQUID SEPARATION THAN ALUM AND POLYMER. The specific
    gravity of the alum/polymer floccules is 1.03 and this results in many “pin flocs” that do
    not settle. The specific gravity of the BRZ/iron compound system is 1.4 and this results
    in a clean solid/liquid separation and interface giving better clarity.

  • BRZ SYSTEM REAGENT NOT BULKY. The alum/polymer reagent is bulky and hard to
    handle compared to the BRZ system.

  • SPENT BRZ REAGENT CAN BE LAND APPLIED. The spent alum/polymer reagent
    must be taken to a licensed land fill.

  • LOWER COST WITH BRZ. Although the reagent cost of the BRZ systems is about
    10% higher than the alum/polymer system the overall cost is much less due to easier
    dewatering and the lower solids management cost.

  • BETTER REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS, CERTAIN HYDROCARBONS,
    CHLORAMINES, AND AMMONIUM.
