FLOCCIN

Superior flocculating agents for enhanced

wastewater treatment for a better world
 What is Floccin?
Our Floccin products are a nonhazardous one-step This single product is designed to remove or
wastewater treatment product that replaces the greatly reduce the following:
traditionally used (and often hazardous) coagulants and
 BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand)
flocculants. Each distinct Floccin agent blend provides a
 TSS (Total Suspended Solids)
multitude of reactions for wastewater treatment that
 TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
simultaneously coagulate, break emulsified oils in water,
 EC (Electrical Conductivity)
ion exchange to encapsulate contaminants, and
 Emulsified Fats, Oils and Grease
flocculate to separate solids from the water stream.
 Phosphates
 Metals

Cost Benefits Cost Savings

 Oil and Metal recovery
potential, both of which are
resalable commodities
 Potential increase in system
capacity through increased
flow potential and decreased
environmental discharge
(keeping you at or below
limits)
 Less chemicals/additives to buy
 Fewer or no surcharges for over
the limit environmental
contaminants
 Less onsite storage space
needed
 Typically no filter press pre-coat
 No drum disposal costs
 No / Minimal hazardous waste
disposal fee
 Decrease in hauling and
disposal fees
 Potential decrease in water,
sewer and environmental
testing costs through onsite
water reuse
 Decreased labor costs

 Floccin vs. Traditional Chemicals
FLOCCIN
1 Step Process : Floccin Agent
 Decreased steps = decreased labor costs
 Minimal storage needed for product
 Less items to purchase = decrease in overall
purchasing costs
Minimal pH dependency
Works in a wider range of pH and will often lower pH levels This causes over-dosing and under-dosing that impacts
without additional steps
One Nonhazardous Material
Floccin constituents meet at least one of the following
standards:
 NSF 60 for drinking water application
 GRAS status as defined by the FDA
Granular form = no dust
Low- / Non-Hazardous Sludge
*We have consistently passed STLC/TCLP EPA
requirements
 Sludge can be land-filled at little to no extra cost
 Company liability for landfill leachates is minimized or
eliminated
Greatly reduced contaminants
= Greatly reduced or eliminated surcharges
Typically No Diatomaceous Earth (DE) needed
Filter presses do not typically need a pre-coat of DE when
using Floccin. Even when used about 50% less DE is
required.
No Drum / Tote Storage
 Floccin is delivered in disposable bags or reusable
Super Sacks
Dry / High Shear Strength Sludge
 Dry sludge is lighter and has less volume =
decreased hauling and disposal fees
 No additional polymers needed to rebuild the floc
 Lower suspended solids (solid carry thru) after
dewatering eliminates or decreasing retreatment
*Less sludge is produced overall adding to the benefits
Increased Flow Capacity
 Floccin makes a larger floc which settles or floats faster
which allows for greater wastewater processing in less
time
 Floccin yields water with lower contaminant levels
decreasing or eliminating surcharges

TRADITIONAL
3+ Step Process : acid, caustic, flocculants, dewatering
aids, and more
 More steps = more labor costs
 Extra storage space needed for multiple chemicals
 More chemicals to purchase typically adds up to equal
or greater overall cost
VERY pH dependent
cost and water quality
Multiple Hazardous Materials
 Handler must have OSHA safety training for handling
hazardous materials
 Increased insurance costs for employees handling
hazardous materials
Many come in powder form = dust
Typically Hazardous Sludge
 Must pay for hazardous waste disposal
 Large companies may need to register as hazardous
waste producer
Minimal reduction in contaminants
= Minimal reduction in surcharges
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) typically needed
For every pound of DE used about 3 lbs of sludge is
generated incurring more disposal costs
Drum / Tote Storage
 A non-refundable $45 disposal fee is charged per drum
 Full and Empty drums require hazardous material level
storage space
Wet / Low Shear Strength Sludge
 Wet sludge is heavy and has a greater volume =
greater hauling and disposal fees, or the cost of
additional dewatering
 Additional polymers may be needed to rebuild the floc
 Increased solid carry means more chemistry required
to retreat
Limited Flow Capacity
 Many chemicals can take hours to settle slowing
processing time
 High environmental discharge may mean only
producing as much as environmental discharge limits
or surcharge costs will allow
 Results That Count
OIL FIELD SLUDGE DEWATERING
Major swings in solid loading and oil content made it difficult
to control the correct dosage with conventional chemistry.

GOLD RECOVERY
The manufacturing of jewelry is comprised of molding to form
the jewelry followed by a polishing step, then deburring or
ultrasonic cleaning. These steps leave residual gold in the
rinsing and ultrasonic cleaning waters.
