polymerized flocculent - Anybody know what this is?

I was surfing the net and found this as a washers description for what he does. Sounds like the dude is set up but I'm not sure what he has.

also, the 48" ride on Power washer. Do you think that is a Swaby?

"Also, we will utilize our reclamation power washing equipment to maintain EPA compliance regarding water runoff. We will simultaneously vacuum the water while providing 4000 psi of 200 degree water. We will treat the water with a polymerized flocculent to separate the oil, gas and other contaminants from the water. The water will then be filtered through a ten micron bag filter allowing for clean water to be reused. Our system will not only provide for a clean surface in an EPA compliant manner, but we will reduce down time and virtually eliminating the need to refill our water tanks and provide the speed needed to provide for normal operations quickly through the use of 48" ride on power washer."
 
This is used to capture, separate, and then settle particles (Dirt, oil, grease, heavy metals.etc) from wash water. Polymer "Binds" to the particles and then settles them in the bottom of a tank, clear water (Re useable) will be at the top. Valve at the bottom of the tank would be used to drain the "Flockulated" material out of the tank to be deposed of properly.

There are Positive and Negative charged Polymers.

Using "Polymers" to "Pre-Treat" wash water before filtration will extend the time you would have to clean your filters, and make a ultra clean water for closed loop washing.

Polymers are expensive. I know a company here in N.C. that makes specific polymers if anyone needs more technical advice.
 
Good luck Tim I really do not know about this at all.

Polymers are very expensive.You would also need a tank to mix the neat polmer and water in to "unwind the strands of the polymer"otherwise you would wast a lot of product.Ph control is also very important in this as polymers are ph sensitive.In other words the polymer will work efficiently in a narrow ph band say 6 to 8 and will not outside of that.

I would think another tank to be used as a clarifier or settling tank would work well if the objective is to settle solids out of your recovery water.A tank setup that would allow water to over flow at the top thru a wier would trap solids and any floaters as well.

Google waster water treatment and water treatment and you could get some ideas as to what I'm talking about.

Several polymer companies are GE betz,Chem Aqua,Nalco.

There are products you can buy from pool suppliers that act as a flocculant to precipitate solids.
 
Yep, Kathy Parker thinks she owns all rights to waste water recovery, and, more importantly the use of flocculents. Unfortunately for her, as long as you are not reselling the system there is really nothing she can do, except sue and see if you cave.
 
Too cool, I've got you matched (except I really didn't step foot in Iran, we just looked at it from the flight deck!)

Oh, yeah flocculent is cool, but off limits for us non-lawyered-up types - just to keep this on topic!

Yeah, mine is marked as one of the top in the state, and is part of the superlawyers, and has been for 5 years. He doesn't miss much.
