The flocculant solution preparation system enables the dosing and dissolution of the powdered product in a predetermined quantity of water.
The flocculants used are organic anionic products based on polyacrylamide and must be prepared with clean water at a temperature between 10 and 40 °C, obtaining a final concentration of 0.1–0.3%.
The mixing of water and powder is ensured by an agitator that guarantees a homogeneous solution; the mixture must be kept under agitation for at least 45 minutes to ensure proper preparation.
The solution can be prepared either manually or fully automatically.
The automatic system, manufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel, is available in a three-chamber configuration. In the first chamber, water and powder are automatically mixed; the solution then flows into the maturation chamber, where it is kept under agitation until the optimum characteristics are achieved. The third chamber is dedicated to solution storage and subsequent delivery by means of a dosing pump.
For less complex applications, a two-chamber version is also available, combining ease of use with operational efficiency.
