FLOCCIN

Superior flocculating agents for enhanced wastewater treatment for a better world

Our Floccin products are a nonhazardous one-step wastewater treatment product that replaces the traditionally used (and often hazardous) coagulants and flocculants. Each distinct Floccin agent blend provides a multitude of reactions for wastewater treatment that simultaneously coagulate, break emulsified oils in water, ion exchange to encapsulate contaminants, and flocculate to separate solids from the water stream.

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

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)

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

Cost Savings Cost Benefits

What is Floccin? This single product is designed to remove or greatly reduce the following:

BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) TSS (Total Suspended Solids) TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) EC (Electrical Conductivity) Emulsified Fats, Oils and Grease Phosphates Metals

FLOCCIN TRADITIONAL

1 Step Process : Floccin Agent Decreased steps = decreased labor costs Minimal storage needed for product Less items to purchase = decrease in overall

purchasing costs

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

Minimal pH dependency Works in a wider range of pH and will often lower pH levels without additional steps

VERY pH dependent This causes over-dosing and under-dosing that impacts cost and water quality

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

Multiple Hazardous Materials Handler must have OSHA safety training for handling

hazardous materials Increased insurance costs for employees handling

hazardous materials

Granular form = no dust Many come in powder form = 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

Typically Hazardous Sludge Must pay for hazardous waste disposal Large companies may need to register as hazardous

waste producer

Greatly reduced contaminants = Greatly reduced or eliminated surcharges

Minimal reduction in contaminants = Minimal reduction in 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.

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) typically needed For every pound of DE used about 3 lbs of sludge is generated incurring more disposal costs

No Drum / Tote Storage Floccin is delivered in disposable bags or reusable

Super Sacks

Drum / Tote Storage A non-refundable $45 disposal fee is charged per drum Full and Empty drums require hazardous material level

storage space

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

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

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

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

Before After

Water was treated for solids reduction, BOD and protein recovery. The protein is a valuable commodity in the animal food industry. Plant was spending $200k on sludge disposal.

Before After

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.

If you could tomorrow morning make

water clean in the world, you would

have done, in one fell swoop, the best

thing you could have done for

improving human health by

improving environmental quality.
