While Polyacrylamide (PAM) is widely recognized for its pivotal role in water and wastewater treatment, its utility extends far beyond these applications. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. highlights the diverse and significant industrial uses of PAM, showcasing its versatility as a high-performance polymer.

In the papermaking industry, PAM serves as a crucial additive. It acts as a retention and drainage aid, significantly improving the efficiency of the paper manufacturing process. By promoting the retention of fine fibers and fillers within the paper sheet, APAM enhances paper quality, such as strength and opacity. Simultaneously, it aids in the drainage of water from the pulp, speeding up the drying process and reducing energy consumption.

The oil and gas sector utilizes PAM extensively, particularly in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. When injected into oil reservoirs, PAM solutions increase the viscosity of the injected water. This heightened viscosity allows the water to push more oil towards the production wells, significantly boosting oil recovery rates. PAM also functions as a friction reducer in hydraulic fracturing fluids, minimizing energy loss and improving the efficiency of the fracturing process.

In the mining and mineral processing industries, PAM is indispensable for solid-liquid separation. It is used to clarify process water, allowing for its reuse and reducing water consumption. Furthermore, PAM plays a vital role in tailings dewatering, consolidating fine mineral waste into a more manageable form, which aids in environmental management and reduces the footprint of mining operations. Its ability to flocculate fine particles efficiently is key to these applications.

Beyond these primary examples, PAM also finds applications in areas such as textiles as a sizing agent, in agriculture for soil conditioning to prevent erosion, and in the production of various consumer goods where its thickening and binding properties are beneficial. The specific type of PAM—anionic, cationic, or non-ionic—and its molecular weight are carefully selected to optimize performance for each unique industrial application.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides a comprehensive range of Polyacrylamide products tailored for these diverse industrial needs. Our commitment to quality and technical expertise ensures that our clients can leverage the full potential of PAM to enhance their processes, improve product quality, and achieve greater operational efficiency and sustainability.
