DESCRIPTION:

ALKEN® SOLUTIONS C189K is a highly cationic, high molecular weight quaternary amine. It is effective in liquid/solids coagulation processes, as well as filtration, flotation, water clarification, and sludge dewatering. It is chlorine resistant. The product meets the specifications of FDA 21 CFR 176.170, for use in paper which comes in contact with food.

If there is enough interest in using this product for drinking water applications, we will apply for certification from NSF, for use at a mazimum concentration of 20 mg/l.

CHARACTERISTICS: 

 6 months from delivery

(9 mo - 1 yr. in drum)

1% solution lasts 4 weeks

0.1 % solution lasts 24 hours

ADVANTAGES:

• Effective in producing a clear supernatant and easily filtered sludge.
• Highly concentrated. Small doses save on freight bills.
• Highly versatile and can function satisfactorily in low turbidity water
• Use in gravity thickeners, filters, centrifuges, air flotation, and clarifiers
• Chlorinated make-up water does not adversely affect performance.
• Non-hydrolyzable, allowing for application in a wider pH range

DOSAGE:

ALKEN® SOLUTIONS C189K should be fed using a corrosion resistant positive displacement pump and should be prepared at a solution concentration of 0.5% or less. Feed the diluted product at a point that insures complete mixing. A laboratory "jar test" should be performed to determine both the correct product and the correct dosage.
