Selecting the appropriate polyacrylamide (PAM) flocculant is a critical step in ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of industrial water treatment processes. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers a comprehensive range of PAM products, and understanding their distinct characteristics is key to making an informed choice.

Polyacrylamide flocculants are broadly categorized based on their ionic charge: anionic, cationic, and non-ionic. Each type possesses unique properties that make it suitable for specific applications and water chemistries. Anionic PAM, characterized by its negative charge, is particularly effective in treating water with positively charged suspended solids and is widely used in sludge dewatering due to its ability to form strong, easily separable flocs.

Cationic PAM, with its positive charge, is highly efficient in treating wastewater with negatively charged contaminants and organic matter. It is commonly employed in municipal sewage treatment and industries where a high degree of purification is required. The charge density and molecular weight of cationic PAM can be tailored to match the specific needs of the water being treated, optimizing coagulation and flocculation performance.

Non-ionic PAM, lacking a net charge, finds applications where electrostatic interactions are less critical or where a neutral polymer is preferred. It can act as a bridging agent, effectively binding particles together. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. advises that the choice between these types often depends on factors such as the pH of the water, the nature of the contaminants, and the desired outcome, such as turbidity removal or sludge thickening.

When making a selection, consider the following: For general wastewater clarification and turbidity reduction, anionic or non-ionic PAM might be suitable. For sludge dewatering, anionic PAM is often the preferred choice. For applications involving highly organic wastewater or specific industrial effluents, cationic PAM may offer superior performance. It is also common practice to use PAM in conjunction with inorganic coagulants like Polyaluminum Chloride (PAC) for enhanced treatment efficacy.
