Tanfloc is a tannin-based flocculant /coagulant that can be suitable for wastewater treatment applications. Developed from Acacia tree bark, it is designed as an organic replacement for metal-based alternatives That use aluminium, iron or other heavy metals
Tanfloc is 100% biodegradable, it does not contribute to the disposal issues of sludge and in many cases enables organic-based sludge to be composted, biodigested (for biogas production) or disposed of onto farm pasture.
The product will completely and quickly digest during biological treatment and can be used as the primary coagulant or as an auxiliary flocculation agent. It is compatible with most products used for this purpose.
Suitable for applications within the food, mining, and petrochemical industries, the product is available in custom-made concentrations to precisely attend to your wastewater needs avoiding under or overdosing, and verified by our technical team upon sampling and testing.
To provide industries with Tanfloc, an eco-friendly, carbon-negative coagulant derived from tannins, designed to enhance water quality, minimise environmental footprints, and support sustainability ambitions across sectors.
For more than 70 years, TANAC reinforces the commitment and respect for the environment.
TANAGRO, Forest area of TANAC, manages an area of more than 70,000 hectares, developing and respecting the most diverse ecosystems.
All the products developed by the company are based on tannin, extracted from the bark of Black Acacia, that is, they come from renewable sources.
We’ve achieved a remarkable 79% COD reduction, using a liquid, biodegradable product that aligns perfectly with secondary treatment processes like activated sludge.
Our game-changing solution has revolutionised sugar production by enhancing decantation and flotation processes for superior colour removal.
Our innovative approach has led to a 75% decrease in chemical product handling, dropping from 180 to 45 tons/year.
By implementing an eco-friendly solution, we’ve drastically cut down the handling of 32,200 kg/month of chemical powders, achieved an 80.2% reduction in COD, and an 88.7% decrease in oils and greases.
Transitioning to the use of Tanfloc has yielded several significant benefits for our business across multiple facets whilst continuing to provide adequate treatment outputs compared to conventional water treatment chemicals. Tanfloc, with its non-corrosive properties, presents a safer chemical solution for water treatment, enhancing both staff safety during handling and fortifying our operational infrastructure. By mitigating the risk of corrosion to our wastewater systems, we’ve effectively extended preventative maintenance intervals, thereby reducing operational costs associated with various wastewater treatment assets. As a tannin-based flocculant derived from tree bark, Tanfloc stands out as a markedly more environmentally friendly alternative compared to historically employed metal-based options in the industry. Its organic composition facilitates a broader array of disposal avenues for wastewater sludges generated by the treatment plant while concurrently diminishing sludge volumes relative to our prior use of metal-based flocculants. Moreover, this product serves as a carbon-neutral option for water treatment chemicals. Given the demonstrated safety, quality, and multifaceted advantages of Tanfloc, we strongly recommend other industrial wastewater treatment facilities try this product. Its efficacy presents a compelling case for adoption, promising substantial benefits across diverse operational landscapes
