Dam, Pond & Dewatering Water Clarification
Cloudy water is fine sediment that will not settle on its own. A flocculant makes it clump and sink, so the water above clears.
Our product: Water Flocculant
MRP flocculant for dams, ponds and dewatering
MRP produces a water flocculant for clearing muddy dam, pond and site water. The finest clay and silt particles are so small they stay suspended almost forever. A farm dam after rain, a settling pond, or an excavation being pumped out can stay muddy for weeks. Until it clears it cannot be discharged, reused or, on a farm, used for stock and irrigation without fouling.
What a flocculant does
A flocculant makes those fine particles bind into larger clumps — flocs — heavy enough to settle under gravity. The sediment drops to the bottom and the water above clears, in a fraction of the time. The dose depends on how much water there is and how muddy it is.
Where it is used
Farm and site dams clouded by runoff. Settling and sediment ponds on construction and civil sites, where water has to be clear before it leaves the site. Dewatering — water pumped from excavations, trenches and pits before discharge or reuse.
