TANFLOC Organic Vegetable

Coagulant from Renewable Resources Cationic Coagulant / Flocculant for Water and Wastewater
TANAC

A textile industry/dyeing facility located in southern Brazil with an effluent outflow of 75 m3/h was using aluminium sulphate as coagulant, anionic polymer and decolouring agent. The treated effluent showed low clarification efficiency, high content of residual aluminium and obvious colouration.

Located in southern Brazil, Tanac is the worlds largest producer of mimosa vegetable extracts. Tanac combines quality products and services with environmental preservation at all stages of the tannin production process. Channelling strengths to reach common targets permanently involves all the members of the Tanac team. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC an NSF certifications are the result of team work. A quality product range developed to satisfy the needs of the companys clients and guarantee best results together with prompt delivery and permanent technical assistance: this is Tanacs profile.

T a n f llo c was tested in the laboratory and then used at the Tanf oc
industrial plant with the purpose of improving clarification of the effluent, eliminating the aluminium residue and removing colour. APPLICATION FLOWCHART

TANFLOC Organic Vegetable

Coagulant from Renewable Resources Cationic Coagulant / Flocculant for Water and Wastewater T a n f llo c Tanf oc
pH 10,5
The Tanfloc product range is essentially natural in origin and competitive when compared to products traditionally employed in water treatment with the additional advantage of being totally biodegradable allowing complete digestion at the various biological stages of the process. Thanks to their versatility, Tanfloc products have effective action on several types of water as well as various sorts of industrial effluent. They are usually employed in drinking water treatment and in the treatment of effluents from several sectors including the petrochemical, ceramic, food, sugar, metal and cellulose industries, oil refineries, mining and domestic sewage. Tanfloc is compatible with most products on the market and may be used in combination with such products. Tanfloc works with minimal interference with the environment and offers various economic advantages.
