Preparation of Dewatering Polymer

Procedure 1: Preparation of dewatering polymer (0.1%)


1. Fill polymer mixing tank with tap water (500L, 1000L, or 1500L).

2. Weight dry powder polymer (0.5kg, 1.0kg or 1.5kg)

3. Start polymer mixer and run continuously.

4. Pour the weighted dry polymer slowly into moving water. Be careful during pouring to prevent bulk powder entering the water and dust from flying over.

5. Mix the solution (dry powder polymer + water) 45 minutes to 1 hour until homogenous solution achieved (no powder/particle suspended in the solution).
