Optimizing Polymer Mixing and Activation

SWRCB Wastewater: 0.025 CEU

CWEA: .3 Contact Hours

Practice Area: Operations & Maintenance

Efficient polymer activation demands an activation process that conforms to the scientific principles of polymer behavior. Dr. Kim has been on the forefront of this exploration and will share his findings.

Learner Outcomes:

• Understand factors such as polymer charge site exposure, application of mixing energy and the effects of dilution water as they influence proper polymer activation.
• The impact of water quality attributes on polymer hydration are explored.
• Learn the importance activating polymer with mechanical mixing and hydraulic mixing

Level: Intermediate; working knowledge of subject matter / journeyman level staff
