Information on the system
The Ultromat
®
manufactured by ProMinent is an automatic polyelectrolyte
preparation system.
It can be used in any application where synthetic polymers are to be auto‐
matically prepared to form polymer solutions e.g. to act as flocculation
aids. As such a dissolving station, the system is suitable for a large
number of process engineering applications, e.g. in the water treatment
sector, in waste water treatment and paper manufacture.
4.1 Design
The system is designed for the fully automatic batching of polymer solu‐
tions.
Almost all commercially available polymers can be used. Under the control
of Ultromat
®
systems, concentrations from 0.05 to 1.0 % can be set. The
viscosity of the polymer solution produced must not however exceed
1500 mPas. Please refer to the polymer suppliers' application data sheets
for information about the viscosity of the different polymer solutions.
Adjust the flow rate of the preparation water to make full use of the prepa‐
ration range. Concentrations of greater than 0.5 % can reduce the
capacity of the preparation performance.
The maturing time available for the production of a polymer solution
depends on the extraction rate and the volumetric capacity of the
Ultromat
®
and is approximately 60 minutes at a maximum extraction rate.
The system capacities extend from max. 400 l usage solution per hour for
the Ultromat
®
400 up to 4,000 l for the Ultromat
®
4000.
