The VortiBlend Polymer Activation System is the product of collaborative expertise gained over the past 25 years of experience in hundreds of polymer activation applications across a wide spectrum of industrial and municipal environments.

This experience has developed a keen understanding of the polymer hydration equipment offered from a host of manufacturers. From the laboratory, through design and manufacturing, to hands on work in the field, we’ve learned what works well and what doesn’t.

The VortiBlend Series fills the need for a reliable, low maintenance, economical, high performance liquid polymer activation system that is simple to operate.

Our approach to the commercial aspects (Money Back Guarantee) makes it easy for our clients to invest in this technology without risk.

The unique three stage design eliminates the costs, maintenance and failures inherent to other designs currently available.

The Primary mixing stage utilizes a specialized Hydro-Kinetic Disperser Module to impart an initial maximized energy at the critical Moment of Initial Wetting, when the neat polymer first mixes withwater.

The Secondary activation stage generates an Orbital Motion pattern inside a turbulent disturbed pressure field.The resultant blending environment produces high Reynolds numbers and is dominated by non linear inertial forces, random eddies and vortices.

The Tertiary mixing stage optimizes the hydration process and associated Charge Site Exposure with tapered cyclonic energy agitation prior to discharge from the unit.

The VortiBlend operation is simple. First , the user enters the desired polymer concentration via atouch pad controller

and selects manual or automatic operation.

Primary dilution water flow is controlled by a solenoid valve which allows water To enter the unit.

Operational Sequence

Primary dilution water flow rate data is measured continuously to assure that adequate flow is present and fed backto the systems control unit.

Using calculations derived from the calibration stage, the unit automatically adjusts the polymer pump output to achievethe desired concentration.

Operational Sequence

Under conditions of high or low concentration, a loss of water flow or polymer feed (optional) thesystem automaticallyshuts down and notifies with an alarm.

Each feed cycle is followed by an adjustable, multi-stage flush cycle to eliminate any plugging .

The system can be operated remote via a4-20mA or simple on/off signal.

Note: A secondary dilution module can be added for applications requiring post dilution

Operational Sequence

The Chem-Flow PDC-1 is a polymer feed controller designed for the specific application of controlling percentage concentration of polymer flow to water flow.

This is a full manual mode of operation. The system is operated in the absence of a 4-20mA input signal and the operator adjusts the pumping rate at the face of the polymer pump.

Owner provided 4-20mA signal is used to prescribe the target solution concentration. The pump output is automatically regulated so as to deliver the target concentration (4-20mA)relative to the measured water flow.

Owner provided 4-20mA signal is used to proportionally control the neat polymer pump outputindependent of measured water flow. The displayed concentration is the ratio of neatpolymer feed rate as determined by the owner 4-20mA to the measured water flow.

The system is operated in the absence of an owner provided 4-20mA. The operator usesthe PDC-1 controller to prescribe a desired solution concentration. The pump output is automatically regulated so as to deliver the target concentration relative to the measuredwater flow.
