Aqua Clear Water Treatment Specialists services dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems and provides a full line of chemistry to optimize such systems. We also carry a full line of formulated blends coagulants and flocculants to make water quality as clear as possible at the lowest economical dose
For systems that use clarifiers and DAF systems as pretreatment to RO systems, Aqua Clear Water treatment specialists has coagulants that have been deemed to be membrane compatible with thin-film composite membranes. Many generic coagulants have very long polymeric chains, and tend to be cationic, making any carryover into a RO system cause irreversible fouling that cannot be cleaned from membranes.
Coagulation is a commonly used chemical process in water purification. Coagulation is a technique that essentially utilizes charge density properties in small colloids allowing them to conglomerate into large, collective colloids that are more easily removed by prefiltration methods such as multimedia filtration. In some instances where feed water sources are quite turbid, the addition of coagulants may create much cleaner feed water prior to nano-filtration or reverse osmosis. Since reverse osmosis and nano-filtration membranes are so selective, turbid, low quality feed water may rapidly foul membrane elements leading to increased membrane cleaning frequency. The addition of a coagulant may significantly decrease the cleaning frequency of membranes potentially saving thousands in operational, maintenance and cleaning costs annually.
Aqua Clear’s highly trained lab personnel perform filtration studies for specific feed water sources to determine the most effective coagulant and optimum dosage requirements. Every water source is unique, so Aqua Clear ensures custom results tailored specifically to the feed water source in use.
