Anionic Polyacrylamide APAM 5-100% Anionic Degree for Sugar Mill Mud Settling CAS 9003-05-8 ISO 9001 Manufacturer 25kg Kraft Paper Bag

Product overview

Sugar mill mud can contain precipitated clarification solids, fine plant matter and liquid carrying dissolved sugar. The desired polymer response depends on where the mud is treated and whether any filtrate returns to the food production circuit. That return path determines which product-use conditions must be confirmed.

Anionic polyacrylamide assists aggregation of compatible mud particles. Selection should balance settling, underflow consistency and subsequent filtration. Rapid settling alone is insufficient if the resulting mud is difficult to pump, filters poorly or allows excess fine solids into the overflow.

Technical data

Application process

Map the mud, overflow and filtrate destinations before selecting the product. Confirm the grade's permitted use if any treated liquid returns to sugar production. Prepare APAM separately and test its addition to a well-mixed mud feed. Compare settling at the available residence time, then check filtration or dewatering on representative conditioned mud.

Grade and dosage selection

The broad 5–100% anionic degree range allows screening of different charge levels; it does not imply that a highly anionic grade is automatically more effective. Mineral content, upstream lime or coagulant chemistry, temperature and liquid composition can change the optimum. Keep the actual grade specification and dosing basis documented when moving from bench tests to mill trials.

Performance evaluation

Solution preparation

Prepare a 0.1–0.5% solution by mass using clean water. Add powder gradually to moving water to avoid lumps. Allow around one hour for dissolution, adjusting for grade, water quality and temperature. The TDS gives 200–400 rpm as a mixing reference; adapt mixing to the actual tank and impeller. Avoid unnecessary high shear after dissolution. A 0.1% solution contains 1 kg of product per 1,000 kg of final solution. Select the treatment dose separately through controlled trials.

Packaging storage and handling

Featured packaging is a 25 kg kraft paper bag with an inner plastic liner. Store the dry product sealed at 0–35 °C, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. The stated shelf life is two years under specified storage conditions. Reseal opened packaging and follow the current SDS for handling and spill cleanup.
