Manufacturers, Exporters, Suppliers of Flocculant in Bhutan

Innovacorp India Pvt Ltd is a manufacturer, exporter, and supplier of flocculant for sugar mills in Bhutan. Our range covers anionic, cationic and non-ionic polyacrylamide (PAM) flocculants used in juice clarification, mud settling and effluent treatment. Anyone who has worked a clarifier knows the pattern: settleable solids vary with cane variety, soil and rainfall, and a polymer that works in one week's crush does not always work in the next. The right approach is a jar test on the actual juice — not a fixed dosage carried over from another mill.

Why Flocculant Matters in Sugar Processing

Raw juice carries soil, bagacillo and colloidal proteins that do not settle on their own in a reasonable time. Flocculants bridge these particles into larger, denser flocs, which settle faster in the clarifier. Faster settling means shorter retention time, less thermal exposure of the juice, and clearer clarified juice going to the evaporators. Clearer juice means less fouling on evaporator tubes, and less sucrose lost in the filter cake. The same chemistry is used in effluent treatment to thicken sludge and improve dewatering — the difference is the charge type and the dose.

Where It Is Used

• Cane juice clarification: Dosed ahead of the clarifier to improve floc formation and settling rate in Bhutan's cane sugar mills.
• Mud filtration: Helps compact mud and reduce sucrose loss in rotary vacuum filters (RVF).
• Syrup and melt clarification: Polishing stages where fine turbidity affects downstream colour.
• Effluent treatment (ETP): Sludge thickening and dewatering in sugar mill and distillery effluent plants.
• Boiler feed and process water: Where clarification of surface water is part of the plant's water treatment.

Types We Manufacture, Export & Supply in Bhutan

• Anionic flocculant (APAM): Used in cane juice clarification, where the polymer bridges suspended solids into larger flocs. Anionic grades are typically chosen for mineral-rich solids and where charge neutralisation is not the primary mechanism.
• Cationic flocculant (CPAM): Used where the solids carry a negative charge — typically organic sludge in effluent treatment, where charge neutralisation and bridging work together.
• Non-ionic flocculant: Used in specific filtration and vacuum filter applications where charge type is less important than molecular weight and bridging.
• Blended and custom grades: Available on request, with dosage confirmed through jar testing on your juice or effluent.

Final specification is confirmed against the product datasheet and after a jar test on your process stream.

Application and Dosage

Dosage depends on the stream (juice, syrup, ETP), solids load, pH and the type of polymer. Indicative starting ranges:

• Cane juice clarification (APAM): 1 – 5 ppm on juice, dosed as a 0.1% solution ahead of the clarifier.
• Mud filtration (APAM or CPAM): 2 – 8 ppm on mud, adjusted to mud solids and filter type.
• Syrup and melt polishing: 0.5 – 2 ppm on syrup, dosed as a dilute solution.
• ETP sludge dewatering (CPAM): 5 – 20 ppm on dry solids, adjusted to sludge characteristics and dewatering equipment.
• Boiler feed and process water clarification: 0.5 – 3 ppm, confirmed by jar test.

Feed points and dosing method (continuous or batch) are discussed with your process engineers. Final dosage is confirmed after a jar test on your process stream.

Packing

• 25 kg HDPE-lined bags
• 25 kg HDPE drums
• 500 kg / 1,000 kg jumbo bags for sugar mills

Key Benefits

• Helps improve floc formation and settling rate in cane juice clarifiers.
• Supports reduced sucrose loss by compacting mud and reducing juice trapped in filter cake.
• Clearer clarified juice helps reduce evaporator fouling and supports heat transfer.
• Available in anionic, cationic and non-ionic grades to match different process streams.
• Dosage is confirmed through jar testing, so the program fits the actual juice or effluent.

Technical Support

Flocculant programs work only when they match the process stream. We work with your process engineers on polymer selection (anionic vs cationic vs non-ionic), jar testing, dosage calculation, and program reviews across the campaign. Final specification, dosage and packaging are confirmed after a jar test on your process stream.
