EGR FLOCCULANT

Key Benefits

• Promotes rapid flocculation of suspended solids

• Helps remove soot and fine particulate matter from EGR washwater

• Improves solid-liquid separation efficiency

• Supports downstream filtration and sludge-handling processes

• Helps reduce turbidity in treated washwater

• Suitable for continuous or batch EGR washwater treatment systems

• Helps maintain efficient operation of wastewater-treatment equipment

• Designed for marine and industrial EGR applications

International environmental regulations set strict rules as to the oil content in effluent water from ships. To meet these regulations, a combination of mechanical and chemical cleaning is necessary. Bilge Water Flocculant is used in combination with multistage bilge water cleaning systems that include mechanical separation of free oil, emulsion breaking, flocculation and filtration. After dosing, Bilge Water Flocculant breaks the oil-in-water emulsion created by contaminants in lubricating and fuel oils, emulsifying cleaning agents etc. It then destabilizes the remaining small oil droplets and agglomerates them into larger particles (flocs) that are easily collected by filtering.

Typical Applications

Marine EGR Washwater Treatment

• Exhaust Gas Recirculation systems

• EGR scrubber/washwater treatment plants

• Marine wastewater treatment systems

• Sludge and solids separation systems

Industrial Applications

• Industrial wastewater clarification

• Suspended-solids removal

• Process-water treatment

• Sludge conditioning and separation

Recommended Use

The optimum dosage of Galanoclear GLC-20 depends on washwater characteristics, suspended-solids concentration, pH, temperature, treatment equipment, and operating conditions. A jar test or site-specific dosing trial is recommended to establish the optimum dosage before full-scale application.

Note: Actual product specifications, dosage rates, pH range, composition, and discharge compliance should be confirmed from the manufacturer's Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and application guidelines.

Typical dose rate: 100 - 500ppm (0.1 - 0.5 litre/m3 of water) In a multistage bilge water cleaning system, Bilge Water Flocculant is fed undiluted through a dosage pump connected to the pressure side of the oil descaler. The floc tank is fed according to the flow of the bilge water pumped into it. The feed is adjusted in connection with the installation and normally needs no alteration. If required, dosing can also be controlled by measuring the level in the container.
