Water Treatment Applications

Paper mills have expanded tremendous effort in purifying wastewater. Not only are mills likely to reuse some of their wastewater, but it appears that some have essentially brought the wastewater treatment plant into their paper mills. The reason is that sludge from wastepaper recycling can contain a lot of water adding to the weight of sludge to be discarded, and it also makes it more fluid-like, not the ideal characteristic for building a stable landfill. AMCOL Paper Technology’s AccoFloc® products can be used during the paper mills water treatment process.
