Applications/Functions The use of POLY-BORE PLUS dry polymer assists or promotes the
following:
General Instructions
Once the required amount of POLY-BORE PLUS has been added
through the hopper continue to circulate and agitate the total volume
of the mixing system for one complete circulation of the volume of the
active mixing system. This amount of time will depend on the actual
flowrate of the pump used to mix with and its calculated recycle rate
of the respective volume of fluid.
At the completion of one circulation of the volume of the active mixing
system shut down all pumps and allow the resultant polymer slurry to
set static for 30 minutes to further hydrate.
At the end of the 30 minute static hydration period initiate mixing
pumps for the time required for one complete circulation of the
volume of the active mixing system to carry out homogenization of
the prepared slurry.
Measure the marsh funnel viscosity of the resultant polymer slurry
and adjust as necessary to meet required slurry specifications and/or
recommendations.
Pump prepared polymer slurry into active circulating system or to
slurry storage tanks as necessary.
Notes
Due to the high molecular weight of POLY-BORE PLUS special
attention should be paid to avoid excessive mixing at high shear
rates due to the potential for shear degradation (reduction in
viscosity) of the high molecular weight polymer.
Reduce total hardness (as calcium) of make-up water by adding
soda ash (sodium carbonate) at 0.5 to 1 pound per 100 gallons (0.6 -
1.2 kg/m3) of make-up water.
Make-up water used to mix POLY-BORE PLUS dry polymer should
meet the following quality:
- total chloride less than 1500 ppm (mg/L)
- total hardness less than 150 ppm as calcium
- total chlorine less than 50 ppm
- water pH between 8.5 - 9.5
POLY-BORE PLUS dry polymer can be chemically broken down with
regular household liquid bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite). Use one
gallon of liquid bleach per 100 gallons (10 liters/m3) of fluid
formulated with POLY-BORE PLUS dry polymer. Do not use
perfumed liquid bleach or solid calcium hypochlorite.
