SunMac – Cationic Polymer Supplier in Salem

Washing and separating tapioca starch makes acidic effluent that ferments fast. SunMac helps the fine organic solids settle before the biological stage.

Starch that ferments

Dose soon after washing, before the starch effluent turns acid and starts to ferment.

Starch effluent in Salem district

Tapioca is turned into sago and starch on a large scale across Salem district. Washing, rasping and extracting the starch leaves behind effluent that is acidic and rich in starch, and it ferments and smells quickly.

Starch fines are normally settled out first; biological treatment follows, often in anaerobic lagoons or digesters.

Where SunMac helps

Fine organic solids that would otherwise ride into the digester settle better with a cationic polymer. SunMac SC04 is the liquid option, and it avoids the make-up step that powders need. Steel and magnesite works to the west clarify mineral fines with an anionic grade instead; see polyelectrolyte for Salem.

Harvest-season planning

The busiest weeks for a sago factory fall in the tapioca harvest. A jar test at the start of each season is wise, because raw material and water quality shift. Salem is usually a next-day delivery from Chennai, about 340 km, and the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board regulates units.
