EFFECTIVE POLYMER PARTICLE WETTING Optimizing dry polymer performance startswith effectively wetting each individual polymer particle. Metering polymer directlyfrom a volumetric feeder into a “wettingbowl” fails to disperse the polymer. TheHydraMax pneumatic conveyance system is designed to thoroughly disperse the polymer prior to wetting in order to minimize polymer hydration time.2. PROPER SOLUTION CONCENTRATIONS Cationic polymers are typically preparedat solution concentrations between 0.25% to 0.5%. Anionic polymers are typically prepared between 0.1% and 0.25% solution. The solution can then be further diluted after the solution metering pumpsthrough a secondary dilution systems. 3. PROPER MIXING When polymer is first wetted, the molecule isnot susceptible to damagingshear induced by a tank mixingimpeller. However, during thehydration process the polymerelongates and becomes susceptible to shear, and possible degradation ofpolymer’s effectiveness. Too low ofmixing energy, or insufficient mixtimes will prevent the polymer from fullyuncoiling. Too muchmixing energy ormixing for too long will damage the polymer. Inducing higher impeller speeds initially which then decrease as the polymer becomes more activated can result in higher polymer performance. 4. SUFFICIENT POLYMER AGING The amount of aging time required to reach optimal performance depends on the type of polymer and other processvariables, such as water temperature. It is not uncommon for systems to be designed with insufficient aging time. For optimum system flexibility, performance andwith proper preparation asdescribed above, it is recommended that cationicpolymer systems be designed with 45 to 60minutes of aging. Anionic polymer systemsshould be designed for up to 120 minutes of aging.Dispersed Polymer InletWater Inlet Total Emersion Wetting ZoneDust Free Discharge to TankImproved Spray Jet SystemLong Radius ElbowHYDRAMAXDRY POLYMER WETT ING TECHNOLOGYTypical Hydramax Side-By-Side System InstallationTHE MODULAR HYDRAMAX SYSTEME N G I N E E R E D T O M E E T Y O U R S P E C I F I C N E E D S50# Bag Unloader withDust Collector (shown)Various Hopper OptionsAvailable (see below)Polymer Storage Hopper,Stainless SteelAvailable in 2, 4, 10, 20 CF capacities(larger capacities available)Pneumatic PolymerConveyance SystemRugged 304Stainless Steel SkidNEMA 4XControl SystemsStandardSuper-SackAdapterHinged Lid 50# Bag/2000# Super-Sack ComboVariable Speed, Stainless SteelVolumetric FeederSkid-mountedAutomatic Water Valvesand InstrumentationAdditional Hopper Cover Options:S IZ ING200 12.0 7.0 30 40400 20.0 12.5 40 40500 23.8 15.2 50 40750 29.4 20.0 50 401000 45.0 29.2 100 1002000 69.9 49.3 150 1503000 81.2 61.3 150 150The above table provides information for standard systems.
