IWE FL3 Flocculant

 

[su_note note_color=”#e5f2ff” radius=”10″]IWE FL3 is used to improve the performance of filtration equipment. It has been developed as a general purpose (low molecular weight) flocculant for use in surface, well and process waters of medium to high SDI. IWE FL3 conforms to European Standard EN 1408: 1998 “Chemicals used for treatment of water intended for human consumption – polyDADMAC”. Other flocculants from the IWE product range are available as required. [/su_note] [two_third] [product_table totals=”false” page_length=”false” reset_button=”false” search_box=”false” columns=”image,name,price:Price Inc VAT,add-to-cart” sort_by=”price” show_quantity=”true” category=”iwe-fl3″] [/two_third] [one_third_last]

Application

IWE FL3 can be diluted and is fully miscible with water in all proportions. IWE FL3 should be dosed continuously to the feed water, (at a turbulent location to ensure good mixing) allowing at least five minutes contact time before filtration. IWE FL3 can often reduce and sometimes eliminate the need for the prior addition of inorganic coagulants such as aluminium sulphate, ferric sulphate, etc. Typical dose rate of IWE FL3 is 2 – 5 mg/L.

Health and Safety

IWE FL3 is an aqueous solution of a cationic homopolymer. It is mildly corrosive to carbon steel so recommended materials for storage tanks etc. include stainless steel, fibre glass, polyethylene and polypropylene. A material safety data sheet is available on request.
