About Settling Agents / Flocculants
OLKLIN-SA has been traditionally the product of choice for use as a flocculent in the clarification and filtration of sugar cane juice. OLKLIN-SA was developed to increase settling rate and thereby reducing the retention time in the clarification stage.Because, the use of the product will depend on local conditions, laboratory trials are strongly recommended.
Optimal Flocculation for Water TreatmentOLKLIN-SA delivers effective settling action in juice clarification, improving the separation of solids from liquids. Its high molecular weight and non-hazardous composition make it suitable for industrial-scale water treatment, providing clarity and stability to processed liquids with ease.
Safe Handling and StorageOLKLIN-SA features an industrial-grade formulation that is both non-hazardous and odorless. For maximum efficacy and longer shelf life, store the flocculant in a dry place away from moisture. Its liquid form allows easy dosage adjustment and straightforward application in processing systems.
FAQs of Settling Agents / Flocculants:
Q: How should OLKLIN-SA be added to the limed juice during water treatment?
A: OLKLIN-SA should be incorporated into the limed juice prior to its entry into the clarifier. For optimal results, the flocculant solution must be gently mixed with the juice stream for 2-3 minutes using an in-line mixer before clarification.
Q: What is the recommended dosage of OLKLIN-SA for juice clarification?
A: The advised dosage of OLKLIN-SA is between 1 to 3 parts per million (ppm) based on the juice weight. This ensures effective flocculation without compromising the quality of clarified juice.
Q: When is the best time to apply OLKLIN-SA in the water treatment process?
A: OLKLIN-SA is most effective when added immediately before the juice enters the clarifier. This timing allows the solution to mix thoroughly with the process stream, maximizing the settling of suspended solids.
Q: Where should OLKLIN-SA be stored to maintain its quality?
A: OLKLIN-SA should be stored in a dry location, away from excess moisture and direct sunlight, to preserve its chemical stability and prolong shelf life.
Q: What is the process for utilizing OLKLIN-SA in industrial water treatment?
A: The process involves dosing OLKLIN-SA into limed juice and mixing gently for 23 minutes using an in-line mixer. The treated juice is then clarified, resulting in improved separation of suspended solids.
Q: What benefits does OLKLIN-SA offer compared to other flocculants?
A: OLKLIN-SA provides efficient clarification with its high molecular weight, odorless taste, and non-hazardous formulation. It ensures consistent performance, easy handling, and reliable results in industrial water treatment settings.
