Filtration processes at maximum efficiency Ciba® MAGNAFLOC® anionic/non-ionic or Ciba® ZETAG® cationic high molecular weight flocculants can be individually selected to give the best possible performance. This allows the filtration process to be run at maximum efficiency, giving faster and higher throughput, dry cake with low moisture and clean clear filtrate for re-use.

Ciba® MAGNAFLOC® UMA polymers bring new standards to flocculant technology.

The unique molecular architecture of the polymer molecules gives faster settlement rates and a flocc structure that encourages optimum filtration with maximum dry cake solids. This gives the products excellent performance in both vacuum and pressure belt filtration processes.

Ciba® DRIMAX® surfactants may be added to slurry prior to filtration in order to wet out the particles and reduce surface tension, they encourage faster dewatering and low moisture content in dry cakes produced from very fine substrates.
