AQUAFY DRY POLYMER MAKEDOWN & FEED SYSTEMS Aquafy Water Technologies Inc. (Aquafy) offers dry polymer makedown and feed systems for the Municipal and Industrial water and wastewater treatment industries. With over 25 years of design and practical hands-on experience, Aquafy can offer innovative solutions for your dry polymer makedown system project. The dry polymer makedown equipment is designed to efficiently prepare a polymer solution with no polymer wastage. Enhanced process performance, reduced water and energy demand, and minimal chemical consumption are the direct benefits. At the heart of the Aquafy dry polymer system is the Ultra Polymer Disperser unit. The disperser unit uses a high shear mechanical mixing technology and is especially designed for -incorporating and homogenizing the most difficult powders, even at high concentrations. The proven rotor-stator design is interchangeable for maximum flexibility, with tip speeds of 32 m/s, ensuring dry polymer particles are efficiently dispersed in the dilution water. By effectively dispersing dry polymer powder into the dilution water flow, “fish-eyes” and agglomerations are prevented. Preventing polymer wastage ensures polymer consumption is reduced resulting in a lower operating cost. The need for aging (defined as the time between when mixing stops and feed to process begins) is completely eliminated reducing the overall batch time. Proper polymer dispersion also allows for the ability to makedown the polymer to at least 1%. This allows for less potable water consumption (post dilution can occur with non-potable water), smaller tanks, smaller mixers, smaller feed pumps, and an overall smaller system footprint. Dry polymer eductor & wetting head technologies cannot generate the same mixing energy and therefore cannot achieve the same level of dispersion. The negative consequence is agglomerations, which can lead to plugging, polymer wastage and subsequent increase in polymer consumption. Furthermore, these systems are limited to makedown concentrations in the 0.1 – 0.5% range and require much longer hydration times and aging. A significant increase in system footprint and potable water consumption results. Aquafy offers a complete system package which includes: Ultra Polymer Disperser, Bulk Bag Frames, Mix and Day Tanks, Control Panels, and Feed Pump Skids with Post Dilution, and offers the widest range of flows in the dry polymer wetting industry ranging from 1.5 to 400 gpm. Our services include: Design Assistance, Preliminary Design and Budget Proposals, Detailed Design Proposals, Submittal Preparation, Submittal Review, O&M Manual Preparation, Start-Up, Commissioning, Training, and Aftermarket Services. Aquafy provides a complete turnkey system, working with designers and end users to customize the dry polymer system for a specific need.
