Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a high-performance flocculant used for wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, and industrial applications. Available in anionic, cationic, and nonionic types, it improves solid-liquid separation and enhances process efficiency.
Description
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a versatile, water-soluble polymer flocculant widely used in a variety of industries, especially for water treatment, oil recovery, mining, and paper manufacturing. PAM is known for its excellent flocculating properties, which improve the separation of solids and liquids in both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems. Unlike inorganic flocculants (like PAC), PAM's action relies on the structure of its molecular chain. Depending on the charge of the polymer, PAM can be classified as anionic, cationic, or non-ionic, each with distinct applications.
● Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) – Ideal for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, especially in industries that require the removal of suspended solids and organic matter.
● Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) – Often used in sludge dewatering, oil recovery, and industrial wastewater treatment where a positive charge enhances particle aggregation.
● Non-Ionic Polyacrylamide (NPAM) – Suitable for use in applications where pH stability is a concern, such as in soil stabilization and certain industrial water treatments.
● Our high-quality polyacrylamide flocculant offers superior performance attributes:
● High Flocculation Efficiency – Helps effectively remove suspended solids from water, improving water quality and facilitating sludge dewatering.The polymers formed create strong, fast-settling flocs.
● Excellent Water Solubility – Dissolves quickly and easily in water for fast and efficient use.
● Wide pH Compatibility – Works effectively across a broad range of pH levels, from acidic to alkaline environments.
● Cost-Effective – Reduces chemical usage and operational costs by improving treatment efficiency.
● Versatile Application – Suitable for a wide range of industries, including wastewater treatment, oil recovery, mining, and paper manufacturing.
● Municipal Wastewater Treatment – Enhances sedimentation, flocculation, and water clarity in sewage and wastewater plants, including the purification of tap water.
● Industrial Wastewater Treatment – Helps to remove suspended solids and organic contaminants from industrial effluents, including those from textiles, chemicals, food industries, and particularly the printing and dyeing sector.
● Oil & Gas – Used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and drilling fluids to improve oil extraction efficiency.
● Mining – Improves solid-liquid separation and tailings dewatering in mining operations.
● Paper Industry – Improves paper retention, drainage, and overall quality during production.
