Polyelectrolyte for Mumbai's MIDC chemical and pharma ETPs
Mumbai and its MIDC belts at Thane–Belapur, Taloja and Tarapur run some of India's busiest chemical, pharma and textile effluent plants, plus giant city STPs.
Polyacrylamide (PAM), also known as a flocculant or polyelectrolyte, has proven highly effective in water treatment. Sunfloc is the Sun Brand PAM range, in anionic and cationic grades.
Water and industry in Mumbai
Mumbai draws its drinking water from lakes north of the city, including Tansa, Vaitarna and Bhatsa, treated at the large Bhandup works. Industry clusters in the Thane–Belapur, Taloja, Ambernath and Tarapur MIDC estates, many feeding common effluent plants, while Bhiwandi's powerlooms add textile processing.
Where Sun Brand fits in Mumbai
Chemical and pharma ETPs
Taloja and Tarapur units run primary clarification before biological treatment; a cationic Sunfloc grade keeps solids out of the aeration tanks. Polyelectrolyte for pharmaceutical effluent.
Textile processing
Bhiwandi and nearby process houses need colour removal with SunDec before a cationic flocculant settles the solids. Removing colour from textile effluent.
City sewage and water works
Sewage plants dewater biological sludge with cationic grades, and lake-fed water works use a small anionic dose after the coagulant. Polyelectrolyte for sludge dewatering.
