Cleanse It Flocculant

Cleanse It Flocculant will reduce or eliminate PH adjustment problems without the use of alum.

With the use of alum the finished or clarified water usually ends up with a PH range of 5-6. This is of course very acidic. This cannot be discharged by the municipality or the company clarifying the water due to the corrosion effects on pipes and the negatives associated with discharging acidic water.

For this reason when alum is used there is always a need for a PH adjustment - achieved with the addition of soda ash - which is not only costly and time consuming, but it leaves a greater opportunity for error and unsafe material handling.

Alum is usually required to be added at doses 3-4 times higher than Cleanse It Flocculant. Much of the alum is insoluble if the water happens to be at a PH of 7-7.5, when the water is clarified much of the alum is still in the water solution and can post precipitate or drop out at a later stage in boilers and other areas of the system. This is not acceptable and is the cause of extensive damage.

Both of these disadvantages (acidity and undissolved solids) are why Cleanse It Flocculant should be used instead of alum. Noble Earth's Cleanse It Flocculant will leave a more stable and less corrosive water.

Noble Earth's Cleanse It Flocculant also forms a dense rapid settling floc and reduces what is commonly called FLOC CARRY OVER problems. Often the floc  which is produced by Alum is extremely light and can carry over to the other settling  pits. Noble Earth's Cleanse It Flocculant is heavier and retains its density keeping it on the floor of the settling tanks.

The range of PH levels which is created by the use of Cleanse It Flocculant is far greater than alum. Alum requires water at a PH scale of between 4.5 - 7 in range. Cleans It Flocculent will operate at a PH range of well over 7 and up to 9 in the ph scale which creates a much more effective result with no need to play with the PH level needed in order to make alum work.

Cleanse It Flocculant contains its own source of alum. This is necessary because typical dirt particles are negatively charged. The alum changes this charge to neutral thus allowing the particles to come together. The coagulating polymers in Cleanse It Flocculant then (chemically) gathers these together.

Alum is normally purchased in powder form which makes dispensing  or dissolving very difficult. There is a liquid form which adds up to 4 times the costs. The use of Alum is also the cause of another extremely and costly problem, which is that any item added to the water must be removed when the dirt particles floc to it.

Due to the 4 times of alum being used, 4 times the sludge is produced, which must be removed at great cost. This is why we can state that Cleanse It Flocculant will reduce the sludge volume which needs to be removed.

Concerns about contaminating water ways is very minimal, due to the fact that Cleanse It Flocculant is a cationic polymer meaning it is a positively charge ion. It is neutralised as it flocculates negative charged anionic dirt or silica clays.

In water, anionic material is at a very high level, and this is the target for Cleanse It Flocculant. The molecule binds itself to the anionic target molecule and is thus rendered inactive or neutral. Any residual polymers that could be left, in all previous cases we have dealt with, is so insignificant that it cannot be detected by today’s measuring instruments.

In conclusion we say that the method of using aluminium sulphate or alum is very outdated and hazardous for treatment of clarifying water.
