FLOQUAT™ is a high-performance mining coagulant that rapidly destabilizes fine and colloidal particles, improving clarification and recycled water quality while reducing solids carryover, flocculant demand, and overall separation instability.
Product Overview
What is FLOQUAT™ designed for?
FLOQUAT™ is designed to destabilize suspended solids and colloidal particles in mining process water and slurry circuits, creating the right conditions for efficient flocculation, settling, and clarification.
Beyond separation performance, FLOQUAT™ helps mining operations improve water management efficiency by producing clearer overflows and enabling higher rates of internal water recycling. This contributes directly to reduced freshwater intake, lower effluent loads, and more sustainable plant operation.
Key Benefits
Operational impact
Rapid destabilization of fine and colloidal particles
Improved clarification and overflow water quality
Enhanced flocculation efficiency and reduced flocculant demand
More stable thickener and settler operation
Higher water recovery and improved reuse of process water
Reduced solids losses and lower environmental discharge risk
Application
Where / How FLOQUAT™ is typically used
FLOQUAT™ is used in mining operations wherever fine particles and colloids interfere with solid–liquid separation and water quality. Typical applications include clarification and thickening circuits, process water treatment, tailings water recovery, and pre-treatment stages ahead of flocculation and filtration.
It is particularly valuable in operations facing water scarcity, stricter discharge regulations, or increasing fines content in ores. By improving solids capture and water clarity at an early stage, FLOQUAT™ supports more efficient water reuse and reduces the environmental footprint of mineral processing circuits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about FLOQUAT™
What is FLOQUAT™?
FLOQUAT™ is a mining coagulant designed to destabilize fine and colloidal particles, improving solid–liquid separation and water clarification.
How does FLOQUAT™ contribute to sustainable mining operations?
By improving clarification efficiency and water quality, FLOQUAT™ enables higher process water reuse, reduces freshwater consumption, and lowers solids losses to the environment.
Where is FLOQUAT™ typically applied?
It is applied in clarification, thickening, and water treatment circuits, often upstream of flocculants, to improve settling performance and overflow clarity.
Can FLOQUAT™ reduce overall reagent consumption?
Yes. By improving particle destabilization upstream, FLOQUAT™ often allows more efficient flocculation, helping optimize flocculant usage and process stability.
What operational improvements can be expected?
