APPLICATIONS

Minus 40 mesh BRZ™ is an advanced, surface water turbidity and silt sorption and flocculation product developed for municipal drinking water plants and industrial pumping 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.
