Polymer Solutions for Sensitive and Large-Scale Projects

Polymer flocculant treatment systems are often simple applications that include soil stabilization, dewatering treatment ditches, and various forms of sediment control and sheet flow clarification polymer enhanced BMPs. On smaller projects one or more of these treatment applications may be necessary. On larger projects multiple treatment applications for water treatment and sediment control may be paired together in a treatment train to achieve optimal results. Furthermore, on ongoing linear projects or robust and environmentally sensitive projects additional polymer enhanced treatment systems and creative and adaptable treatment setups may be needed to ensure discharge limits are met. This presentation will include examples of large scale, ongoing, and environmentally sensitive projects that needed highly adaptable treatment systems or additional treatment capabilities to achieve numeric discharge levels. These will include, but will not be limited to, a linear gas pipeline project, a major aggregate washing operation needing sediment and heavy metal removal, and a highly visible and environmentally sensitive Orlando theme park project.
