See Hydrex 6861 Plant-Based Coagulant in Action

Outperforming Metal-Based Coagulants

To truly appreciate the advantages of the Hydrex 6861 plant based coagulant for wastewater treatment, witness its performance firsthand. In the following video, you'll see a side-by-side comparison of Hydrex 6861 and traditional metal-based coagulants in action.

 

As the video clearly demonstrates, the metal salt coagulants generate significantly more sludge than the plant based Hydrex 6861 coagulant. Even in the treated water, a substantial amount of sludge is visible when using metal-based alternatives, highlighting their inefficiency and potential environmental impact in wastewater treatment.

In contrast, the Hydrex 6861 plant based coagulant produces noticeably less sludge, resulting in a clearer and more effectively treated wastewater stream. This visual comparison underscores the key benefits of choosing Hydrex 6861 over conventional metal-based coagulants for industrial wastewater treatment:

  • No Caustic Chemicals Needed for Wastewater Treatment:
    Unlike metal-based coagulants, which often require the addition of caustic chemicals for pH adjustment, Hydrex 6861 operates effectively without the need for such harsh chemicals, reducing potential environmental and safety risks in wastewater treatment plants.

  • Lower Dosing Requirements for Plant Based Coagulants:
    Due to its high efficiency, Hydrex 6861 typically requires lower dosing rates compared to metal-based alternatives, leading to reduced chemical consumption and associated costs in industrial wastewater treatment.

  • Reduced Sludge Production with Plant Based Coagulants:
    As is evident in the video, Hydrex 6861 generates significantly less sludge than metal-based coagulants, resulting in lower disposal costs and a reduced environmental footprint for wastewater treatment facilities.

  • Greener and Cost-Effective Sludge Disposal:
    The sludge produced by Hydrex 6861 is organic and biodegradable, allowing for the use of more environmentally friendly and cost-effective disposal methods than metal-based coagulants in wastewater treatment processes.

    By choosing Hydrex 6861, industries can benefit from improved wastewater treatment performance, reduced chemical consumption, lower sludge production, and a more sustainable approach to wastewater management. The visual evidence provided in this video serves as a compelling demonstration of the advantages offered by this innovative plant-based coagulant for industrial wastewater treatment.
