Polymer control
Chemtrac Systems’ Polymer Control System model PCS5500 can help optimize polymer addition for liquid solids separation such as clarifiers, centrifuges, belt filter presses, rotary drum thickeners, dissolved air flotation, and gravity belt thickeners. The on-line instrument measures the net charge after the addition of polymer (i.e. sample stream of centrate/filtrate).
