💧 ARK Flocculant-dissolving System, FREETA-α Overview

Flocculant-dissolving tank volume Up to 8 m³
Working volume Adjustable to either 33%, 67% or 100% of the total volume of flocculant-dissolving tanks
Types of solutes Powdered polymer flocculant
System A powder feeder and three flocculant-dissolving tanks in series
To perform mechanical sludge dewatering, a flocculation of the suspended solids present in the slurry is absolutely required.
When a powdered polymer flocculant is chosen for the purpose, we need to dissolve the powder perfectly in dilution water prior to feeding.

💧Reasons that you need to install the flocculant-dissolving system at your factories/treatment plants

The powdered polymer flocculants are one of the most widely used chemicals in the sludge dewatering processes. Unfortunately, the polymers are not quickly dissolved in water due to their long chain length. When the feeding rate of the chemicals to the water is too fast and/or in case of poor agitation, the powders may form masses (lumps), which results in a very slowed dissolution.

To attain a perfect dissolution of the powdered polymer flocculants in water, both a controlled agitation and a certain mixing time are essential.  Since the polymers of the powder are present in a physically shrunk form, the macromolecules have to be expanded in water to maximize the flocculation effect. To allow the expansion, the polymer solution must be placed in the tank for 30-60 minutes, which is called maturation time.

The ARK’s Flocculant-dissolving System, FREETA-α, perfectly achieves the dissolution and maturation of the emulsion polymer flocculants in the dilution water.

💧Strong points of the ARK’s Flocculant-dissolving System, FREEAT-α

FREETA-α lineups are equipped with a set of agitators to not form masses (lumps) during the dissolution of the powdered polymer flocculants.

If the agitation is poor, the masses (lumps) are quickly formed, which are not dispersed in water. This results in overconsumption of the polymer flocculant in the sludge dewatering process.

The three tanks in series equipped with FREETA-α allow a perfect dissolution of the slowly soluble polymer flocculants.

✅ Are there any limitations for flocculant species when FREETA-α is used?

You may utilize FREETA- α for conditioning any flocculant species in a desired concentration. Besides a powder form, both an emulsion form and a solution form may also be fed to the flocculant-dissolving tanks.
