Floccin Agents
(Pronounced ``Flockin``)
The Floccin line is a series of many products custom designed to remove most contaminants from wastewater such as:
- BOD
- TSS
- Heavy metals
- Inks, Pigments and Dyes
- Emulsified Fats, Oil and Grease
- Phosphates
- Helps reduce TDS and EC`s vs. other chemistries
Our blends encapsulate the contaminants in a barrier, producing an easily disposable waste sludge and water that can often go right down the drain.
Each blend provides a multitude of reactions that simultaneously coagulate, break emulsified oils in water, change the pH, encapsulate the metals, and flocculate to separate the solids from the waste stream. For further information select one of the categories.
QA/QC Program
The Floccin Products are manufactured under stringent guidelines for uniformity, performance, and composition. Each manufacturing step has written procedures that are followed and documented with the corresponding material made that day. Every lot is tested and must pass the QA/QC test(s) before acceptance. All testing is performed onsite in a California state certified lab. Certificates of performance are available to our clients.
Floccin Products and Applications
The Integrated Engineers blended flocculating agents perform multiple treatment with one product. The blends are designed to break emulsified oils as well as encapsulate the heavy metals or entrained oil in a strong flocculation.
All products come in a convenient granular form that virtually eliminates irritating dust. Where the granular form does not work in the waste stream, a powder form is available.
The Floccin products are formulated from chemicals that are either NSF 60 approved for drinking water application, FDA approved for direct human contact, or meeting the GRAS status as defined by the FDA.
Additional benefits to our clients are that the Floccin products operate over a wide pH range, generate a high shear strength floc and sludge, require no additional chemistry to dewater, simplify the operations by using just 1 product, and reduced operating costs.....
Floccin-A
This is a general flocculating agent blend that works well in many industries, including ink removal in corrugated box manufacture, paint, pressure washing, etc. The product does not affect pH.
Floccin-B, BK
This is a blend that is used to raise the pH of low pH wastestreams such as metal finishers, acid washing operations and similar processes.
Floccin-D
This blend has an enhanced capability for color removal as well as oil/grease reduction. Applications are for color removal, emulsified oil reduction and other similar processes. This product does not affect pH.
Floccin-E
This blend has the same applications as Floccin-D, however it has been enhanced to work well at slightly higher initial pH. This product will drop the pH slightly.
Floccin-F
This blend is used primarily for the treatment of wastestreams with soluble organics such as benzene, xylene, toluene and other industrial soluble organics.
Floccin-G
This blend works well with stronger emulsions, higher % solids and hard to treat water(s).
Floccin-H
This blend is essentially the same as Floccin I, but is enhanced to work better for dirtier wastestreams. This product will drop the pH slightly.
Floccin-I
This blend works well in ink-laden, oily or other wastestreams where a slight reduction in pH helps in the coagulation/flocculation process.
Floccin-J
This blend performs well with wastewater where color removal, emulsion breaking is coupled with inks, starch and other inorganic/organic pollutants.
Floccin-K
This blend is enhanced to perform well in treating extremely strong emulsions and inks.
Floccin-M
This blend was designed basically for the herbicide industry for the removal of the zinc-based salts used in the agricultural market.
Floccin-1106
This blend enhanced to perform well in treating extremely strong emulsions and inks with high total solids.
These are general recommendations based on past experience with various industries. We generally recommend testing with 2 or 3 different products to determine the optimum, cost-effective product. For further assistance in solving your wastewater problems, contact us.
