Summary
Handles everything from the synthesis of polymer flocculants to the design and operation of manufacturing processes and quality control, supporting safe and efficient production as a technical role.
Description
Polymer flocculant manufacturing engineers are responsible for the manufacturing processes of polymer-based flocculants used in water treatment and wastewater treatment. They manage the entire process consistently, from feeding raw material monomers, controlling polymerization reactions, neutralization, dehydration, drying, pulverization, to final product quality testing, while maintaining product characteristics such as molecular weight and viscosity within specifications. They handle process design at lab scale, pilot plants, scale-up to full production, safety management, and waste liquid treatment, and collaborate with R&D and production departments to promote technological improvements.
Future Outlook
Demand is expected to remain stable with the strengthening of water treatment and environmental regulations. Interest in bio-derived polymers and low-environmental-impact products is increasing, and technological innovation is anticipated.
