RM-10
|
Wastewaters contain a mixture of solids (both suspended and colloidal), dissolved metals and organic compounds. While there are many options available to remove these contaminants, most involve multiple steps and a considerable amount of time for the process.
The traditional approach to pre-treating waste streams for discharge or re-use typically involved:
- Adjusting pH to break oil emulsions and precipitate dissolved metals;
- Adding coagulants to aid agglomeration of metals into a small masses;
- Adding polymers (polyelectrolytes) to help form larger masses (flocs) for removal, as well as clarify effluent.
Clearly the most innovative and comprehensive line of clay-based Flocculants available, Cetco's RM-10 offers a cost effective treatment alternative in simple step. Using reactive chemical, RM-10 offers a safe and simple-to-use product for the removal of oils, heavy metals, and suspended solids from waste water.

RM-10 ®
RM-10 is a proprietary blend of clay minerals,polymers and pH
adjusting agents,which allow ONE-STEP removal of emulsified
oils and heavy metals from various waste streams. Our system
also ensures that the treated effluent will meet POTW
discharge limits established by local and state authorities.
- Eliminates laborious,multi-step processes.
- Offers generators of industrial waste streams a safe,simple, and cost-effective means for treatment and disposal.
- Eliminates the need for handling and storing liquid
chemicals used in conventional wastewater treatment systems.
- The process is completed within minutes and
requires minimal operator intervention.

Accofloc ®
- A high activity sodium bentonite clay used to increase
clarity and remove trace metals from water or wastewater.
- Designed to meet the increasingly stringent water quality
and discharge regulations required by municipalities.
- NSF approved for use in potable water applications.
|
RM-10 is used in both batch treatment systems
(shown above) and in continuous flow systems |
RM-10 Features & Benefits |
| |
Dry Product
- Non-reactive, non-hazardous (as opposed to liquid caustic and acidic coagulants).
- Packaged in 50# bags or bulk super sacks for easy storage and movement.
- Easier containment /clean-up in case of spill.
- Semi-granular and granular blends minimize exposure to fine dust.
- Can be easily introduced to a waste stream with an auger type dry feeder.
Decrease Process Time
- RM10® combines multiple functions of traditional treatment scheme almost simultaneously, into one simple step.
- Base clays used in all RM10® blends are cationically charged, allowing faster precipitation and settling of metal hydroxides.
- Typical treatment time required for full reaction is less than ten minutes.

Versatile Technology
- Effective treatment on different types of waste streams with a pH of 2-12.
- Can utilize in batch or in-line treatment schemes and in most cases with existing equipment.
- Removes /lowers: heavy metals, TSS, oils and other organic /inorganic matter.
- Several blends to accommodate various waste streams and conditions.
Cost Effective
- Requires very little operator interface.
- Only one product to add and maintain.
- Generate a solid waste which is microencapsulated and considered non-hazardous.
- RM10® is a clay based product, which is easily pressed and dewatered.
Consistent Results
- Clay based products are more forgiving if overdosing occurs.
- High affinity for metals, organics, and other contaminants.
- Proven technology for nearly 30 years.
