CEMENT INDUSTRY — SNF Solutions
Efficient clarification for cleaner process water.
Cement plants require clean and stable water quality for cooling, processing, and slurry preparation. Raw water often contains high suspended solids and turbidity that hinder operations. SNF coagulants (ACH, PAC) and anionic/nonionic flocculants remove fine impurities, improve water clarity, and protect downstream equipment while reducing chemical consumption.
Reliable settling of cement fines in effluents.
Wastewater from cement plants contains high TSS, alkaline pH, and fine particulate cement dust that resists settling. SNF high-performance anionic flocculants accelerate particle agglomeration, optimize settling tank capacity, reduce sludge generation, and ensure compliance with environmental discharge norms.
Higher dryness & lower sludge disposal cost.
Cement sludge is sticky and moisture-rich, increasing handling and landfill costs. SNF Cationic Polyacrylamide (CPAM) enhances dewatering efficiency in filter presses and centrifuges — improving cake solids, minimizing polymer dosage, and reducing transportation and disposal expenses.
Prevent scale & microbial growth in cooling circuits.
Cooling towers face challenges from scaling salts, corrosion, and bacterial growth due to high evaporation cycles. SNF dispersants and biocides control deposition and biofilm formation to maintain heat-transfer efficiency, increase equipment life, and reduce downtime of critical utilities.
