Managing TDS and Alkalinity in a Wastewater Treatment Plant
A WWTP treating dairy and juice effluent used Tanfloc with a polymer, cutting TDS by 40%, removing up to 97% turbidity, and stabilising salinity—making the water suitable for sustainable irrigation reuse.
Water Treatment Plant – One-Year Trial
In a city of 238,940, a year-long trial at the water plant showed Tanfloc, paired with a polyamine, removed over 98.8% of colour and turbidity—simplifying operations, improving safety, and proving a sustainable alternative to traditional coagulants.
Water Treatment Plant Coagulant Replacement
A water plant serving industry replaced aluminium sulphate with Tanfloc, achieving better clarity, faster settling, and lower chemical costs—while reducing pH issues, corrosion, and sludge handling challenges.
Removing Tannins from Bore Water
At a brewery using bore water, Tanfloc (44–50 ppm) achieved 81–87% colour removal, improving clarity, easing RO system load, and ensuring water quality for both industrial and restaurant use.
Sustainable Algae Mitigation in Mining Water Systems
In a mining operation with 30 dams, Tanfloc outperformed other coagulants by removing 99.9% of algae, reducing membrane fouling risks, and producing low-metal, organic-rich sludge—offering a more sustainable and effective solution for managing algal blooms.
Domestic Sewage Wastewater Treatment
A sewage plant treating 9 ML/day used Tanfloc (150 ppm), boosting BOD, COD, and turbidity removal to 95%, 94%, and 97%, respectively. It produced safe, biodegradable sludge, required no pH adjustment, reduced corrosion, and improved safety and operational efficiency.
Flocculation Auxiliary in Wastewater Treatment
A 43 ML/day wastewater plant using 2 ppm Tanfloc 20% cut aluminium sulphate use by 31.7% and alkalising agents by 42.3%, lowered aluminium residuals, improved flow and filtration, reduced turbidity and colour, and cut treatment costs by 25.7%.
Wastewater Treatment in the Red Meat Industry
At red meat facilities in WA, NSW, and VIC, Tanfloc used before DAF units achieved strong results: 99% FOG, 92% TSS, and 72% BOD removal, with moderate reductions in nutrients and TDS—significantly improving high-strength effluent treatment.
Sugar cane washing water clarification
In sugar and ethanol processing, Tanfloc (15–70 ppm) improved cane wash water treatment with 92% TSS removal, faster decantation, stable pH without alkalis, and organic sludge suitable for soil disposal—enhancing sustainability and reducing corrosion.
Wastewater Treatment in the Textile Industry
A textile facility used 350 ppm Tanfloc with 1 ppm polymer, achieving 79% COD and 95% colour removal. The process eliminated decolouring agents, simplified operations, enabled water reuse, and outperformed aluminium coagulants in effectiveness and sustainability.
