Areas of application
Organopol 5540 is a non-toxic highmolecular weight anionic polyacrylamideflocculant supplied as free flowing,non-dusting granules with excellent solubility. Organopol 5540 provides superior floc strength, colloidal retention,and solids separation in mill process water treatment programs.

Anionic polymer for the paper and pulpmill process water treatment programs in fine paper, newsprint, mechanical specialties and paperboard grades. InDAF clarification applications, designed for polymer addition at last shear pointprior to clarification at dosage rates of 0.5 to 5 ppm based on process waterflow. Recommended in single/dual component and bentonite microparticle clarification systems. Also applied as a polymer flocculant for enhancing the efficiency of effluent sludge dewatering systems.

Benefits
-Improves process equipment outputand runnability for return on investment.
- Superior clarification of processwater in dissolved air flotation (DAF)systems.
- Enhances sludge dewatering efficiencyin treatment of mill effluents.
- Provides stable clarification conditionsfor removing suspended anddissolved solids.
- Enhances rapid flotation in DAFclarifiers for energy savings in air compressor operation.
- Improves deink pulp uniformitythrough efficient clarification of ink,ash, and stickies.
- Performs over a wide pH range withor without the use of organic and inorganiccoagulants.

Effectively decreases BOD/CODlevels in clarified process effluentstreams.
- Maximum flexographic ink clarificationfrom washer effluent in thedeinking process.
- Contains no VOC or surfactantcomponents to harm the environment.
-Available in a variety of packaging forease of handling and safety.
