At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are dedicated to providing innovative chemical solutions for environmental protection. Polyacrylamide (PAM), a highly effective water-soluble polymer, stands out as a cornerstone in modern water treatment processes. Its remarkable flocculation capabilities make it indispensable for clarifying water and removing a wide spectrum of pollutants from both industrial and municipal sources.

The primary function of polyacrylamide in water treatment is to act as a flocculant. When introduced into water containing suspended particles, PAM molecules bridge these particles together, forming larger, heavier aggregates known as flocs. These flocs then settle out of the water column more rapidly, facilitating efficient solid-liquid separation through sedimentation or filtration. This process is crucial for achieving high levels of water clarity and purity, whether for drinking water supply, industrial process water, or treated effluent discharge.

Anionic polyacrylamide is particularly effective in treating wastewater with neutral to alkaline pH values and positively charged suspended solids. Its molecular structure allows it to efficiently adsorb and bridge these particles, accelerating their settlement. Cationic polyacrylamide plays a vital role in sludge dewatering, a critical step in wastewater treatment that reduces the volume of sludge generated. Its positive charge attracts negatively charged sludge particles, leading to dewatering and volume reduction. Non-ionic polyacrylamide, while less common in primary flocculation, can be used in specific applications or in conjunction with other treatments to enhance performance.

The versatility of polyacrylamide means it is employed across various water treatment scenarios. In raw water treatment, it helps remove turbidity from sources like rivers and reservoirs. For industrial wastewater, PAM is instrumental in treating effluents from sectors such as mining, textiles, and paper manufacturing, removing heavy metals, dyes, and suspended solids. Municipal sewage treatment also benefits immensely from PAM's ability to clarify effluent and dewater sludge.

Choosing the correct grade of polyacrylamide is paramount to optimizing treatment efficiency. Factors such as molecular weight, charge density, and hydrolysis degree dictate its performance in different water matrices. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we offer a comprehensive range of polyacrylamide products and expert guidance to help you select the most effective solution for your specific water treatment needs, ensuring cleaner water and a healthier environment.
