Emulsion - Polymer Systems

Get Thicker Quicker

Our most popular units, the L-1 and the L-2 system, utilize emulsion polymers and can fit a wide range of applications.

Product Data

Description

It all starts with the right polymer.
Effective solid settling and thickening requires the right polymer selection. The polymer solution acts as the physical bridge that connects the suspended solids together, promoting liquid separation. The chief issue interfering with polymer efficiency occurs when molecular chains are bound tightly together reducing the particle’s contact area. A truly effective polymer solution should be selected and aged properly to achieve its highest activation, resulting in the unfolding of the molecular chains. Improper selection and/or mixing results in higher polymer consumption and lower system performance. Our in-house testing facility offers sample testing to assist in assuring optimal performance for our polymer systems.

Our most popular units, the L-1 and the L-2 system, utilize emulsion polymers and can fit a wide range of applications. Charter Machine can also design and customize polymer systems to meet customer requirements.

Our Roedos line of polymer systems provide the proper aging time while ensuring that the correct solution is always available to allow adjustments of your process requirements. Utilizing variable speed type pumps, the Roedos injects the polymer solution into the water or sludge stream. We do not rely on the incoming water pressure that can vary or be too low to properly prepare and transport the polymer solution into the water or sludge line.

Features

Inline Venturi Type Mixer

Polymer solution and sludge are rapidly mixed in our inline venturi type mixer. *Mixing energy is easily adjustable.

Multi-Port Injection Ring

The polymer solution is pumped into the line through our multi-port injection non-clog polyethylene ring ensuring the best initial introduction possible.

Non-Corrosive Construction

All units built with non-corrosive construction stainless steel components and Schedule 80 PVC piping.
