VeloBlend Liquid Polymer Activation Systems

Since VeloBlend's introduction, polymer blending has changed forever — so much so that our unique VeloBlend mixing technology was granted a U.S. patent. The VeloBlend's hybrid polymer activation technology combines the reliability of non-mechanical blending with controllable, variable-speed hydro-mechanical mixing energy. This allows for precise control of mixing conditions, allowing you to optimize the performance of any polymer available, while not relying on water pressure.

While the rest of the polymer equipment industry was engaged in a mechanical versus nonmechanical system debate, VeloDyne developed the next generation of advanced polymer activation technologies, a hybrid of the two approaches..

VeloBlend FAQs

What is VeloBlend?

VeloBlend is an advanced liquid polymer activation system designed to maximize polymer performance in Clarification, Filtration, thickening and solids dewatering applications. It uses exclusive hybrid activation technology to activate liquid polymers without damaging their molecular structure.

What applications is VeloBlend used for?

VeloBlend is commonly used in processes that require efficient solid-liquid separation, including:

    • Sludge thickening
    • Belt press, centrifuge, and filter press dewatering
    • Clarification and settling
    • Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment

Mining, pulp & paper, oil & gas, and other heavy industrial processes 

Why is polymer activation important for thickening and dewatering?

Liquid polymers are supplied in a coiled, inactive state. Proper activation allows the polymer chains to fully uncoil and bind solids effectively. Poor activation can result in:

    • Higher polymer consumption
    • Reduced capture rates
    • Poor cake solids or clarity
    • Increased operating costs

VeloBlend ensures Optimized activation without shear damage, delivering optimal floc formation and performance. 

How does VeloBlend differ from conventional polymer mixing systems?

VeloBlend uses a hybrid activation process that combines:

    • Ultra-high, non-mechanical mixing energy (independent of water pressure)
    • Variable-speed hydro-mechanical mixing

This approach provides superior optimized across the full operating range

What benefits does VeloBlend provide in dewatering applications?

Key benefits include:

    • Improved floc strength and size
    • Better solids capture
    • Higher cake solids
    • Reduced polymer consumption
    • Lower operating and chemical costs

Consistent performance across varying flow rates 

What flow rates and capacities are available?

 VeloBlend systems are available in multiple series to meet a wide range of needs, from small process flows to large industrial applications, with solution flow rates ranging from fractions of a GPM up to 600 GPM, depending on the model. 

Is VeloBlend compatible with different polymer types?

Yes. VeloBlend is designed to activate any liquid polymer and allows precise control of mixing conditions, making it compatible with a wide range of polymer chemistries and concentrations.

How is polymer and water ratio controlled?

VeloBlend systems offer multiple control levels, including:

    • Manual or automatic water ratio control
    • SmartBlend ratio control
    • Integration with solids density or process signals
    • PLC/HMI options with local or remote operation

This allows accurate, repeatable dosing for stable thickening and dewatering performance.

Is the system suitable for harsh industrial environments?

Absolutely. VeloBlend industrial systems feature:

    • Stainless steel mixing chambers and plumbing
    • Progressive cavity polymer pumps
    • Rugged stainless steel skids (304 or 316 SS)
    • NEMA 4X control panels

They are built for demanding applications such as mining, pulp & paper, and oil & gas.

How does VeloBlend help reduce operating costs?

By delivering fully activated, undamaged polymer, VeloBlend improves process efficiency, allowing operators to achieve target performance with less polymer, fewer process upsets, and reduced maintenance requirements.

Is VeloBlend difficult to operate or maintain?

No. VeloBlend systems are designed for ease of use, with:

    • Intuitive control interfaces
    • Open skid designs for easy access
    • Reliable, non-mechanical activation components

This results in simplified operation and reduced downtime.

Where can VeloBlend be installed?

VeloBlend systems are skid-mounted and can be installed in:

    • Wastewater treatment plants
    • Industrial processing facilities
    • Polymer processing plants
    • Containerized or modular treatment systems
