METALS REMOVAL

AQUAMET® Metals Removal Products are among the most powerful materials in the market for forming insoluble complexes with metals such as copper, nickel, zinc, chromium, lead, and mercury. Complexation with metals occur between the negatively charged sulfur atoms and the positively charged metal atom. The resulting compound is highly insoluble in water.

FLOCCULATION AND EMULSION BREAKING

NSIGHT^® natural clarification polymers are naturally sourced starch chemistries that have been designed for superior efficacy and applicability for the water and wastewater treatment market. NSIGHT polymers function as coagulants to charge neutralize and improve influent water clarification processes. They promote better performance as emulsion breakers to treat oily wastewater when compared to conventional synthetic polymers. Performing as flocculants for water and wastewater treatment, NSIGHT polymers improve the efficiency of wastewater clarification processes and improve the effectiveness of sludge thickening operations. NSIGHT polymers have low toxicity and are biodegradable and, thus, are not persistent in the environment. These characteristics prove valuable to users who require “green” chemistries for their applications.

NSIGHT natural clarification polymers offer many performance, environmental, regulatory and use advantages, they are easy to dilute and easy to use and do not require complicated dilution and feed equipment. Dry NSIGHT polymers are food grade compliant and are readily cold-water soluble.

• Ready-to-use liquids with medium-to-high molecular weights
• Cationic, amphoteric and hydrophobic functional groups
• Ready-to-use cold water swelling (CWS)dry powders
• Food grade and/or FDA compliance

Alco’s ALCOCLEAR™ and FLOC-AID™ products are uniquely designed synthetic polymers for specialty applications. Floc-Aid products are amphoteric in functionality which provides differentiated performance for liquid-solids separation and emulsion breaking applications.
