Coagulants

Bulk & Custom Blended Coagulants

Coagulants play a fundamental role in industrial water and wastewater treatment. They are chemicals introduced to remove suspended solids, organic matter, and fine particulates in the water.

Coagulants work by neutralizing the electrical charges that keep particles dispersed in water. Most suspended particles carry a negative surface charge, which causes them to repel one another. When a coagulant is introduced, it destabilizes this charge, allowing the particles to come together and form “microflocs,” a process known as coagulation.

Following coagulation, the next step is often flocculation, which involves slower mixing to encourage the formation of larger, more settleable flocs. Together, these two processes allow for efficient removal of turbidity, color, metals, and organics in both clarification and filtration systems.

At EES, we tailor our coagulant selection to the specific needs of the facility and waters to be treated.  Sometimes the best coagulant can be an iron chloride, while other times, a multipart organic/inorganic blend could outperform the more traditional coagulants.  At EES, we evaluate the water stream, listen to our customers goals, and develop the chemical program based on the treatment goals and nature of the waters to be treated.  Sole ownership of the manufacturing and toll blending facility allows us to provide custom formulations to meet specific treatment needs.

Featured Coagulant Formulations

Some of our commonly used coagulants for clarification, particulate removal, and overall wastewater treatment include products designed for:

Key Application / Benefit

• Superior coagulation and metals reduction in one product
• Phosphate, color, arsenic, oil & grease, and TSS removal
• Organic suspensions like latex paint and other TSS issues
• Removal of color and algae at lower doses, helping reduce treatment cost
• PAC-based formulas for fast settling and strong TSS reduction
• Organic/inorganic blends for clearer water and better solids removal

Several coagulants and fully customized blends are available.  Contact your EES representative to discuss the best coagulant choices for your specific application.
