Working with their team we developed a more effective treatment strategy, treating 100% of their daily wastewater flow at the DAF system, eliminating the need for high-load diversions. Additionally, our program worked to significantly reduce TSS and BOD in the treated effluent to remain compliant with municipal requirements and minimize surcharge expenses.
Why hybrid with Tidal Clear?
Chitosan is a naturally derived biopolymer made up of long-chain molecules with a high density of positive charges. These extended chains create multiple binding sites, allowing more contaminants to be captured and neutralized at lower feed rates than traditional inorganic coagulants. This efficiency reduces overall chemical demand while improving water clarity.
Why hybrid with Tidal Clear?
The strong molecular structure of chitosan captures pollutants and also enhances the performance of downstream flocculants. By creating a more stable initial bond, TCH Hybrids improve floc size, density, and settling characteristics, making the entire treatment process more effective.
Why hybrid with Tidal Clear?
Unlike conventional coagulants that can produce large volumes of weak sludge, TCH Hybrids generate dense, compact flocs that settle rapidly. This reduces sludge volume, lowers hauling and disposal costs, and simplifies handling, all while maintaining consistent performance across variable water conditions.
