Enhancing Sand Washing Clarification Using High Molecular Weight APAM

Table of Contents

Project Snapshot

Industry: Construction Materials

Application: Sand Washing & Slurry Clarification

Region: Asia

Year: 2022

Product: Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM)

Form: Solid powder

Molecular Weight: 14–18 million

Supply Volume: 4 MT

Client Background

The client operates a sand processing facility supplying construction-grade materials. Efficient solid–liquid separation is critical to ensure water reuse, reduce discharge, and maintain stable production.

Challenge

Fine sand particles generated during washing were difficult to settle, resulting in:

Slow sedimentation

High turbidity in recycled water

Increased water consumption

Inefficient sludge handling

The client required a reliable flocculant suitable for inorganic mineral slurry under continuous operation.

Our Solution

After evaluating application requirements, we supplied a high-molecular-weight Anionic Polyacrylamide designed for mineral and sand washing applications.

Why this APAM was selected:

Strong bridging ability for fine particles

Fast floc formation and settling

Stable performance in variable water conditions

Implementation & Support

Product dissolved on-site following standard procedures

Dosing optimized during initial operation

Technical guidance provided remotely

Stable clarification performance was achieved shortly after commissioning.

Results Achieved

Noticeably faster sedimentation

Clearer recycled water

Improved water reuse rate

Reduced wastewater discharge

Consistent long-term operation

Key Takeaway

Selecting the right molecular weight and charge density is essential for effective sand washing clarification. Application-specific technical support further ensures optimal results.
