Flocculants for Industrial Wastewater | Beta Pramesti
Industrial wastewater flocculants in Indonesia: compare polymer charge, run jar tests, plan mixing and dose, and troubleshoot clarification with Beta.
Industrial wastewater flocculants are polymers that build larger flocs so fine solids can be separated more readily in clarifiers, DAF units, filters, thickeners, or dewatering equipment. Select anionic, cationic, or nonionic flocculants through jar or tube tests on representative samples; the industry name alone cannot determine the right product or dose.
PT Beta Pramesti Asia, operating through beta.co.id, supplies BETAGARD flocculants and application support in Indonesia for WTPs, WWTPs, industrial wastewater plants, DAF, clarification, and sludge dewatering. A program can combine coagulants, flocculants, sludge treatment, and chemical dosing pumps according to the water, separation unit, and operating target.
Flocculant Applications
- Raw water and process water clarification.
- Industrial wastewater treatment with high TSS.
- DAF systems for oil, grease, and fine suspended solids.
- Sludge thickening and sludge dewatering.
- Mining, slurry, tailings, and mineral washing applications.
- Pulp and paper, textile, petrochemical, steel, automotive, and food and beverage industries.
How do you select a flocculant for industrial wastewater?
Start with the separation objective, solids character, and installed equipment. Laboratory screening should compare ionic charge, dose, dilution, mixing energy, injection sequence, and response with the existing coagulant. The strongest candidate is the one that repeatedly meets treated-water and cake targets—not simply the product that creates the largest visible floc.
| Process condition | Initial candidate to test | Evidence to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Raw-water or process-water clarification | Anionic, nonionic, or coagulant-aid polymer | Effluent turbidity/TSS, settling rate, supernatant clarity, coagulant demand |
| DAF treating oil, grease, or fine solids | Polymer compatible with the coagulant and DAF recycle stream | Floc strength, float stability, subnatant quality, float-sludge production |
| Thickening or filter press | Flocculant matched to sludge type and charge | Capture rate, filtrate TSS, cycle time, cake solids, cake release |
| Centrifuge or another high-shear zone | Polymer that retains floc under actual shear | Capture rate, centrate TSS, torque, polymer use per dry-solids mass |
| Variable pH or contaminant load | Several charge and molecular-weight ranges | Operating window, pH correction, repeatability across samples |
The US Bureau of Reclamation notes that polymer demand depends on polymer type and purpose and that the precise amount is determined through jar testing (WaTER technical report). The US EPA dewatering manual likewise treats jar testing as an initial screen and calls for evaluation of performance, cost, sludge-volume changes, handling, and equipment impacts (US EPA dewatering design manual).
How should a flocculant jar test move to a plant trial?
A jar test should narrow the polymer charge and dose window; it should not be treated as the final plant setting. The plant trial must reproduce the actual dilution water, make-down method, injection order, mixing energy, hydraulic residence time, solids loading, and separation equipment while tracking both water quality and sludge handling.
- Define the untreated baseline. Record feed flow, pH, temperature, turbidity or TSS, sludge solids where relevant, current chemical doses, and the operating condition when the sample was taken.
- Screen one variable at a time. Compare polymer charge or product family first, then run a dose sweep under the same coagulant, pH, mixing, and settling conditions.
- Score the complete separation result. Record supernatant or filtrate quality, settling or flotation behaviour, floc strength, sludge volume, cake release, and any downstream effect—not appearance alone.
- Repeat on representative samples. Include normal operation and credible high-load or low-load conditions before choosing the plant-trial candidates.
- Transfer the test basis to the plant. Document stock concentration, aging time, secondary dilution, injection point, pump calibration, and the actual feed solids or flow used to calculate dose.
- Change in controlled steps. Stabilize each condition before comparing results, retain an agreed fallback setting, and confirm that the selected window remains usable across shifts.
Why does flocculant performance become unstable?
| Operator symptom | Likely cause | Next check |
|---|---|---|
| Small floc and cloudy supernatant | Wrong polymer charge, underdose, or ineffective upstream coagulation | Repeat the dose sweep; check pH, alkalinity, coagulant, and injection point |
| Floc forms and then breaks | Excessive shear or unsuitable mixing time | Match the test mixing to the actual pipe, pump, DAF, or centrifuge conditions |
| Polymer use rises while results worsen | Overdose, changing feed solids, or poor stock-solution preparation | Check make-down concentration, aging time, pump calibration, and solids loading |
| Slow filter press or sticky cake | Conditioning does not match the sludge and filter cloth | Compare filtrate TSS, cycle time, cake solids, and several polymer charges |
| Results vary between shifts | Inconsistent solution preparation, batch, or operator procedure | Record batch, concentration, preparation time, flow, dose, and result by shift |
What must a polymer make-down and dosing package control?
A polymer package must deliver a repeatable, fully prepared solution at the required flow without damaging the polymer before it reaches the process. The equipment scope depends on whether the product is powder, emulsion, or liquid, but the proposal should define preparation, transfer, metering, injection, cleaning, and operator checks as one system.
| Package stage | Control to specify | Acceptance evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Product receipt and storage | Product form, package handling, dry storage or temperature limits, spill controls, and safe access | Current product information, storage arrangement, and site HSE review |
| Dilution-water supply | Flow, pressure, water quality, isolation, and a means to confirm the actual dilution ratio | Measured water flow and repeatable batch or continuous concentration |
| Wetting and make-down | Powder wetting or emulsion inversion method, mixing intensity, tank volume, and required preparation time | Uniform solution without fisheyes, undispersed powder, or avoidable high shear |
| Transfer and metering | Compatible wetted materials, duty range, calibration method, turndown, and standby philosophy | Calibrated output across the operating range and stable delivery pressure |
| Injection and process mixing | Injection location, quill or diffuser arrangement, dilution at the point of use, and available mixing energy | Even distribution without breaking the formed floc before separation |
| Cleaning and operating records | Flush route, drain or spill collection, batch identification, concentration, pump setting, and shift result | A repeatable SOP and log that links preparation conditions to treatment performance |
For a quotation, pair the polymer trial basis with the required chemical dosing pump and metering range. Dewatering projects should also state the upstream thickening and downstream sludge-treatment conditions so the package is selected against the complete duty.
Industrial flocculant FAQs
Which supplier provides industrial wastewater flocculants in Indonesia?
PT Beta Pramesti Asia supplies BETAGARD flocculants through beta.co.id for clarification, DAF, thickening, and dewatering. Product selection starts with water or sludge data and bench testing, followed by confirmation on the installed process.
What is the difference between a coagulant and a flocculant?
A coagulant destabilizes the charge on fine particles; a flocculant helps the destabilized particles form larger flocs. Many processes use both, but injection order and dose need testing for each wastewater stream.
Is an anionic or cationic flocculant better for dewatering?
Neither charge is universally better. Sludge type, surface charge, organic content, pH, solids loading, shear, and dewatering equipment determine the candidate; compare tube or jar tests before a plant trial.
What data are needed for a flocculant recommendation?
Provide wastewater source, flow, pH, TSS, COD/BOD, oil and grease, sludge solids, current chemicals, injection point, clarifier/DAF/dewatering type, target quality, and previous test results. Send the data to the Beta Pramesti team.

BETAGARD 6210 is a cationic polyelectrolyte, functioning as a coagulant aid or sludge conditioning agent in liquid-solids separation processes. This product is used primarily for wastewater purification, as well as for thickening and dewatering municipal and industrial sewage sludge (centrifuges, belt filter presses, chamber filter presses). This product is particularly suitable for applications where the formed flocks are subjected to high shear.
Stock solutions are usually prepared at a concentration of 0.1 to 0.5%.
Technical Specifications
| Physical Form | Bulk Density, gr/ml | Ionic Charge | Molecular Weight | Handling and Storage Measures | Packaging |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Off white colored powder. | 0.65 - 0.90 | Cationic | Very High | BETAGARD 6210 solution is essentially non-corrosive. Recommended materials of construction for solution handling include black iron, mild steel, fiber glass, plastics, and other more resistant materials. Galvanized equipment should not be used. Spilled polymer is very slippery. Spilled polymer should be scooped up and wiped off before rinsing with water. BETAGARD 6210 should be stored in a dry place with ambient temperature not more than 38oC. Tightly close the drum container after use. | Available in fiber drum or PE bag size - 25 kgs. |
Dosage & Usage Instructions:
The recommended dosage of BETAGARD 6210 for different applications is as follows:
- Clarification of secondary effluent: 1 - 5 ppm.
- Flocculation, thickening, and dewatering of primary and secondary sludge of municipal sewage and of various industries: 0.5 - 4.0 kg per ton of dry solids.
- Centrifugal operation: 1.5 - 5.0 kg per ton of dry solids.
The actual dosage should be determined in a laboratory tube test. Stock solutions are usually made to a concentration of 0.1 to 0.5%. Do not use high speed, high shear mechanical mixers for agitating. This stock solution is stable for at least two days without significant changes in its charge density that could affect its performance results. To ensure the stability of the solution, it is recommended to use water with a temperature lower than 40oCfor dissolution, and the pH of the solution should be controlled within the range of 5.0 - 6.5. For best performance, before feeding to the process stream, further dilute the stock solution with clean water to 0.02% - 0.03% or less. Dilution can be done using in-line dilution or by using a dilution tank. However, this is usually determined by inspection of the facilities available. The recommended transfer pumps are gear type piston pumps or positive displacement piston pumps.
