At NorX, we’re committed to helping industrial operations meet the demands of effective and environmentally responsible wastewater treatment. One critical component of this process is the use of flocculants—powerful agents that play a key role in improving water clarity and managing solids in effluent systems.
What Is a Flocculant?
Flocculants are specialized chemicals used to promote the clumping of fine suspended particles in wastewater. Once grouped into larger clusters—called “flocs”—these solids are much easier to separate from the water. This improves the efficiency of sedimentation, filtration, and overall treatment performance.
Why Flocculants Are Important
In a wide range of industries, from mining and construction to manufacturing, managing wastewater is not just about compliance—it’s about operational efficiency and environmental stewardship. Here’s why flocculants are essential:
• Improved Solid Removal: By aggregating particles, flocculants reduce the load on downstream filtration and separation systems.
• Cleaner Effluent: Flocculants help achieve clearer water discharge that meets regulatory standards for turbidity and suspended solids.
• Operational Efficiency: Reducing the volume of residual sludge translates to lower disposal costs and simpler system maintenance.
NorX Flocculant Solutions
NorX proudly stocks two high-performance flocculants designed to meet the varying needs of industrial wastewater treatment systems:
ACH Blue
ACH Blue is a reliable, aluminum-based coagulant/flocculant with a high charge density. It promotes rapid floc formation and is environmentally safe, making it an ideal solution for operations seeking both performance and sustainability. It works across a broad range of water conditions and generates less sludge compared to many traditional options.
NCT-22 (Amber)
NCT-22 is a versatile amber-colored coagulant/flocculant engineered to handle a wide range of suspended solids in wastewater. It offers consistent performance in challenging conditions, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications.
