SPS: The SCAE System for Polyelectrolyte Solutions
SCAE, thanks to its twenty years of experience in the field of sludge and similar dehydration, offers integrated systems for the automatic preparation of polyelectrolyte solutions in powder and emulsion form that include the relevant loading activities and routine maintenance over time. A completely innovative approach aimed at relieving the contractor of any burden including the procurement and mixing of powder "chemicals."



The SCAE polypreparators PPA are automatic systems for the continuous preparation of polyelectrolyte solutions from powder and/or emulsion product. They are mainly used in mechanical sludge dewatering processes performed with centrifugal extractors. Their primary function is to obtain polyelectrolyte solutions at the desired concentration in an absolutely automatic way without wasting product and with perfect dispersion and homogenisation of the same.
The system includes a powder storage and dosing system, a piston pump for dosing the emulsion product, a dilution and dispersion system, a water regulation unit, a tank with three compartments communicating with each other by overflow and an electrical panel for system control and command.
SCAE polypreparators are divided into two distinct macrocategories, BASIC and TOP, within which we find other subgroups subdivided according to the polyelectrolyte treated: powder, emulsion or both.

POWDERS AND EMULSIONS




Over the years, SCAE has managed to win a solid corollary of Customers consisting of important names in industries that rely on our fast and efficient chemicals supply service to produce polyelectrolyte solutions in a sustainable way with reduced environmental impact.
The products find use in all civil and industrial wastewater purification processes containing pollutants of different nature depending on the processes involved and are especially aimed at companies that need to depurate water in order to reuse it within the processes in use optimizing its productiveness i.e., drastically reducing waste and operating costs.


SCAE focuses on concrete process needs by supporting its customers with customized special formulations to ensure the best sludge treatment and wastewater purification.
FORMULATI PERSONALIZZATI

With many years of experience across a variety of commodity sectors, SCAE develops customized polyelectrolyte formulations to meet special needs of the customer or a particular application. Directly or in cooperation with our partners, we help companies efficiently and safely solve their treatment processes by going beyond mere functionality and without losing sight of the sensitive issue of environmental compliance.


The formulation of polyelectrolyte solutions depends on the specific application and process requirements, but generally includes the following steps:
- polyelectrolyte type selection
- concentration calculation
- dissolution
- pH regulation
- concentration control
- testing and optimizations
- storage and handling
SCAE is able to offer consulting and support services during both the design and implementation phases, including the usual routine maintenance and extraordinary plant cleaning.
