Polyblend Liquid Polymer

We Follow the Science

Our systems are designed to optimize polymer performance because they follow the latest in polymer science. These fundamental aspects are demonstrated in our feeders:

Two stage mixing with the highest energy applied first at the moment of initial wetting (MOIW) followed by a "quiescent" zone allowing for more gentle activation as polymer science dictates.
Extended residence time in the "quiescent" zone to optimize the continued charge site exposure as the polymer is activated in an optimal manner.

Our team of trained experts can help you determine the best technology for your application based on your process goals, the type of polymer used and the volume you are treating.

Our Emulsion Polymer Activation Technology

cleanwater1's industry-leading emulsion polymer activation technologies use superior two-stage mixing to achieve superior results. We frequently see higher polymer savings with two-stage mixing compared to single-stage mixing. Optimizing mixing energy ensures consistent performance. This allows us to handle new polymer developments, ultra-high molecular weights, different charge densities and new chemistries. The compact size and open-frame design enables easy installation, access, and maintenance in confined spaces. Control options range from simple manual to full PLC-based automatic control with complete SCADA interface.

Polyblend® PB Series

At the center of the PolyBlend® PB Series polymer feed system is the unique multi-zone mixing chamber. The advanced design provides uniform dispersion energy at the moment of initial wetting. The high-energy mix prevents agglomerations and eliminates the need for extended mixing and aging by applying the right energy at the right time. The low-energy zone continues to activate the hydrated polymer without destroying the fragile polymer chains.

The result is maximum polymer activation and improved polymer performance. The compact design of the PolyBlend® PB Series provides easy installation. The corrosion-resistant, stainless steel chassis houses the lightweight system allowing for easy mobility.

The PB is ideal for portable use or where intermittent use requires the system to be stored in one location and used in another. Various models cover a polymer solution flow range from 0.1 to 20 USGPM.

Unlike most polymer feeders, the PB series works equally well at very low flow rates.

Polyblend® M Series, Magnum and M-Lo Liquid Polymer Series

The PolyBlend® M Series is engineered for quick, easy installation and service and is built to last. The compact size of the feeder allows trouble-free installation in confined spaces, and the open-frame design facilitates easy component access. The M Series is engineered to handle the harshest environments and is designed to handle new polymer developments, ultra-high molecular weights, different charge densities, and even totally new chemistries.

The PolyBlend® Magnum achieves even higher viscosity solutions than the M Series by enhancing the proven two-zone mixing energy profile with the 14,000 sec-1 G-Value. The carefully sized volume of the Magnum low energy mix zone increases polymer residence time and accelerates the “hydration/relaxation” of the activated polymer chains resulting in increased viscosity and ultimate performance.

The Polyblend® M-Lo Series liquid polymer feed system provides consistent and accurate dosage to improve polymer efficiency. It offers all of the benefits of the best available polymer preparation system at a competitive price. The ready-to-install system provides consistent and accurate dosage and improves polymer efficiency. Seven models are available with outputs of 0.4 to 2.5 GP.

Polyblend® PB Series

This original Polyblend^® PB Series unit offers more for less by providing a compact design and maximum polymer activation with an innovative multi-zone mix chamber that provides uniform dispersion energy at the moment of initial wetting.

The PB is lighter than most other polymer feeders, making it ideal for portable use or where intermittent use requires the system to be stored in one location and used in another.

Various models cover a polymer solution flow range from 0.1 to 20 USGPM. Unlike most polymer feeders, the PB series works equally well at very low flow rates.

Available in a wide range of capacities up to 75 US gpm (280 l/min).

Fort Atkinson

Location: Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin

Goal: Optimize their polymer system and lower Polymer costs.

Solution: Polyblend^® Magnum skid mounted polymer system

Outcome: Overall polymer usage was decreased by 25-30% and efficiency was increased. The Polyblend^® Magnum system decreased the average quantity of daily emulsion polymer usage from 35 gallons to 25 gallons. The introduction of the Polyblend^® Magnum system allowed the City to save nearly $20,000 annually or 30% on costs. These savings were much higher than originally projected prior to testing and installation.

Aiken County

Location: Aiken County, South Carolina

Goal: Find a more efficient, better quality alternative to the dry polymer dosing option they were using.

Solution: Polyblend^® Magnum Liquid Feed System

Outcome: Overall polymer usage went down almost immediately after the Polyblend® liquid polymer system was activated. Costs decreased by nearly 50% and quality of biosolids increased. With the demonstrated improvement in sludge quality and the roughly 50% savings in polymer, the plant decided to purchase a Polyblend® Magnum unit for one BFP line and prepared to purchase another for the other BFP line later in the calendar year.
