Processes that benefit include sedimentation, flotation, thickening and dewatering, which effectively clarify effluents for subsequent discharge or in certain cases for recycling purposes. Our proven flocculants and coagulants - Ciba® ZETAG®, Ciba® MAGNAFLOC® and Ciba® MAGNASOL® - enhance conventional biomechanical processes by improving the efficiency of solids/liquid separation.

Ciba® ZETAG® - high molecular weight cationic polyelectrolytes supplied in microbead, powder, liquid dispersion, inverse emulsion and water in water emulsion forms.

Ciba® MAGNAFLOC® - high molecular weight anionic polyelectrolytes supplied in microbead, powder or liquid dispersion and inverse emulsion form.

Ciba® MAGNASOL® Coagulants - Used for the precipitation and coagulation of sewage and industrial waste waters.

Computer assisted dose control systems were introduced in response to increasingly complex process technological procedures. Marketed under the well-known trade names Ciba® POLYKON®, for use with chamber filter presses, and Ciba® ALCOTECH® for use with belt filter presses and centrifuges. These dose control systems offer customers the benefits of automated control, optimum chemical consumption and process security, as well as reduced costs.

Complete systems - like the Ciba® JETWET® and Ciba® POLYMETER® - are available for handling, preparation and dosing of Ciba® ZETAG®, Ciba® MAGNAFLOC® and Ciba® MAGNASOL® products.
