New flocculant Range with Zetag ULTRA
BASF's water treatment chemicals include flocculants and coagulants especially designed for the solid/liquid separation in industrial and municipal waste water treatment. Zetag® ULTRA is the recently introduced range of ultra-high molecular weight cationic flocculants and complements the existing BASF flocculant range. Because of its effective bridging capabilities, Zetag ULTRA shows advanced dewatering performance.
It offers strong floc integrity to withstand high shear forces making it especially effective for the use in centrifuge applications as well as for dissolved air flotation. Zetag ULTRA has proven its excellent performance in more than 50 extensive plant trials worldwide. BASF customers report that cake solids of dewatered sludge increased on average by 15%. Other customer cases show a significant dose savings of up to 20%.
Furthermore, the centrate has an improved capture rate. Zetag ULTRA is the ultimate fit to answer plant operators' needs. The new high performing flocculants allow wastewater treatment plants to operate more efficiently and effectively. The unique molecular architecture of Zetag ULTRA offers a clear cost advantage through operational cost savings.
The achieved higher cake solids are environmentally beneficial as less energy is required for transportation, disposal and incineration.
