A flocculant for wastewater treatment based on acrylamide.

AquaCode® WASTE 8660 is a high molecular weight cationic polyelectrolyte based on acrylamide. The formulation is mainly used for wastewater treatment, as well as for thickening and dewatering of municipal and industrial sludge (centrifuges, belt press screens, chamber filter presses). The mode of action of AquaCode® WASTE 8660 is based on the exchange of ions between the electrical charges along the polymer chain present in the aqueous solution and the surface charges on the suspended solids.

Particle surfaces are destabilized, resulting in coagulation or flocculation.
