Polymer Reduction in Dewatering Applications with HydroFLOW®
HydroFLOW® enhances dewatering efficiency by reducing polymer consumption, treating limescale and biofouling, and improving water separation. It optimises sludge management, minimises chemical dependency, and lowers operational costs in wastewater treatment and industrial processes.
Optimising Polymer Usage in Dewatering with HydroFLOW®
Dewatering by belt presses, screw presses and centrifuges is a critical process in wastewater treatment, mining, and industrial sludge management. The use of polymers is common to aid in solid-liquid separation, but excessive polymer dosing can lead to high operational costs, increased sludge volumes, and equipment fouling.
HydroFLOW® provides an innovative, non-chemical solution to improve dewatering efficiency while reducing polymer consumption. By enhancing flocculation, improving water clarity, and reducing scale and biofilm accumulation, HydroFLOW® helps facilities achieve better separation with less reliance on chemical additives.
