A short presentation on the features and benefits of the Vortiblend liquid polymer feeder

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

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

6. 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 with
water.

7. 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.

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

9. The VortiBlend operation is
simple. First , the user enters
the desired polymer
concentration via a
touch 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

10. Primary dilution water flow
rate data is measured
continuously to assure that
adequate flow is
present and fed back
to the systems control
unit.
Using calculations derived
from the calibration stage, the
unit automatically adjusts
the polymer pump
output to achieve
the desired concentration.
Operational Sequence

11. Under conditions of high or low
concentration, a loss of water flow or
polymer feed (optional) the
system automatically
shuts 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 a
4-20mA or simple on/off signal.
Note: A secondary dilution module can be added for applications requiring post dilution

12. 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 output
independent of measured water flow. The displayed concentration is the ratio of neat
polymer 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 uses
the 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 measured
water flow.

16. • System uses a by weight basis (w/w%) for calculating solution strength.
• Neat polymer pump is paced to water flow for consistent solution concentration.
• PDC-1 Controller limits the ability to make too high or too low a solution protect
against process upsets and gelling up the blending system
• PDC-1 Controller provides :Water Flow Readout, Concentration Set-Point, 4-20mA
Output Signal, Isolated Pulse Driver, Three Control Relays, Remote 4-40 mA Control,
Feed Rate Calibration, Concentration Calculator
• Low / No water condition shuts down system and raises alarm
Feature Summary

17. • System has automatic, selectable flushing cycle to clean polymer check valve and
kinetic tee; keeping the check valve free of agglomerations
