Types of Wastewater Treatment Chemicals
To meet both governmental regulations and industry standards for chemical effluents and pollutants, numerous wastewater chemical solutions have been developed. Depending on the application, one or more chemical treatments may be necessary to produce up-to-code wastewater.
Coagulants
Odor Control
Flocculants
Defoamers
Organic Polymers
Organic polymers are natural flocculants that use ionized polymer to attract particles into flocs for easier filtration. They are often used in conjunction with inorganic iron or aluminum-based coagulants.
Reducing Agents
Sludge Conditioners
Cleaners and Degreasers
Membrane Cleaners and Antiscalants
Biocides and Bio-Dispersants
Biocides and bio-dispersants reduce microorganisms in wastewater, enhancing operational efficiency of wastewater treatment operations. Biocides include cleaners, scale removers, dispersants, penetrants, and disinfectants.
Heavy Metal Precipitants
Heavy metals in wastewater are often ionically bonded with chelating agents or other bonding chemicals that prevent them from becoming soluble. Heavy metal precipitants dissolve those bonds allowing dangerous heavy metals to precipitate out of the wastewater.
pH Control
pH control adds acidic or basic chemicals to the wastewater, thereby allowing hydroxide ions to bond with heavy metals and precipitate out of the solution. In addition, greater acidity will kill bacteria and organic compounds by breaking them down at a cellular level.
