What is polyacrylamide (PAM) used for?

In raw water treatment, polyacrylamide (PAM) is used together with activated carbon for the coagulation and clarification of suspended particles in domestic water; in sewage treatment, polyacrylamide (PAM) can be used for sludge dewatering; in industrial water treatment, polyacrylamide (PAM) is primarily used as a formula agent.

What is Pam chemical used for?

It can enhance flocculation, reduce the cost of clean water, improve water quality, and remove organic matter and algae in the water. PAM chemical has a wide range of applications in water treatment, petroleum exploration, textile, papermaking, mineral processing, medicine, agriculture and other industrial fields.

How polyacrylamide (PAM) is used in sewage treatment?

In sewage treatment, using polyacrylamide (PAM) can increase the recycling rate of water reuse. In petroleum extraction, polyacrylamide (PAM) is mainly used in drilling mud materials and for enhancing oil recovery, widely applied in drilling, well completion, cementing, fracturing, enhanced recovery, and other oil field extraction operations.

What are the different types of polyacrylamide (PAM)?

YASA ET is supplier of three different kinds of PAM: non-ion polyacrylamide (NPAM), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and anionic polyacrylamide (APAM). Click here to learn more. PAM chemical compounds are used to flocculate and coagulate suspended solids in water, wastewater, and soil.

Can polyacrylamide powder be added to sewage?

Polyacrylamide powder can’t be directly added to sewage. It must be dissolved in water before use, and then use polyacrylamide solution for sewage treatment. Use clean water to dissolve PAM powder. Generally, just use water at room temperature, no need to heat it. However, the dissolution is very slow when the water temperature is lower than 5℃.

What is Pam used for in industrial water treatment?

In industrial water treatment, PAM can be used for scale inhibition and corrosion inhibition, helping to maintain the proper functioning of equipment. It can also be employed in the maintenance of cooling water systems, reducing corrosion and microbial growth while enhancing system efficiency.
