KlarAid* Coagulants
Highly Charged Inorganic, Organic and Custom Blended
Coagulants for Clarification of Industrial Water and Wastewater
• Easy to feed and ready to use solutions
• Wide range of molecular weights, chemistries
and charges densities
• Promotes superior water clarity in difficult to
treat water and wastewater
• Highly efficient emulsion breakers for oil-in-
water emulsions
Description and Use
KlarAid products are ready to use water-soluble
coagulants, ranging from polymeric inorganic and
organic coagulants to blended formulations and
single container product blends. They are designed
to function in a variety of industrial water and
wastewater treatment applications including use as
a primary coagulant for removal of colloidal turbidity and color for raw water clarification, as a demulsifier to facilitate liquid solids separation in
dissolved gas flotation units used for primary
wastewater treatment, and settling and filter aids
used separately or in conjunction with organic flocculants.
selecting the appropriate product for that situation.
On-site testing is performed to ensure that the optimum overall solution for the customer is chosen
based upon the customer’s objectives.
Application and Treatment
Proper application and treatment levels depend on
many factors and coagulant applications are specifically designed for each application and for each
individual facility’s needs. KlarAid products can be
applied neat (undiluted) as received or diluted to a
convenient strength and may be fed by a pump or
by gravity flow to a point where there is good mixing. Storage, Handling and Safety instructions are
provided with every product in the form of written
recommendations and detailed MSDS.
