Genesys Flocculant – Advanced Solution for Colloidal and OrganicFouling Control

Genesys Flocculant is a high-performance liquid formulation designed to improve the efficiency and reliability of reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), and multimedia filtration systems. Developed by Genesys International Ltd., this advanced chemical solution acts as a coagulant and flocculant to remove suspended solids, colloids, organic matter, and fine particulates from feed water.

By enhancing particle agglomeration and improving pre-filtration efficiency, Genesys Flocculant minimises membrane fouling, extends membrane life, and ensures stable and consistent permeate quality. It is an essential component of any comprehensive membrane pretreatment programme, especially in systems handling surface water, wastewater, or challenging feed conditions with high turbidity.

Product Overview

In RO and membrane filtration systems, fouling caused by fine colloids, organic compounds, iron, and silica particles can severely reduce performance. These contaminants create a dense fouling layer on the membrane surface, leading to increased pressure drop, reduced permeate flow, and frequent cleaning requirements.

Genesys Flocculant is formulated to enhance the coagulation and sedimentation process, allowing small suspended particles to aggregate into larger, more easily filterable flocs. This process improves the performance of multimedia filters, ultrafiltration units, and cartridge filters, ensuring that cleaner water reaches the RO membranes.

Its use significantly reduces the load of organic and inorganic fouling materials, maintaining long-term system efficiency and lowering overall operational costs.

Key Features and Benefits

Highly Effective Flocculation and Coagulation
Genesys Flocculant promotes the aggregation of suspended solids and colloids into large flocs, which can then be removed easily through filtration or sedimentation.
Enhanced Pretreatment Efficiency
It improves the performance of multimedia and cartridge filters by reducing turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) in feed water before it enters the membrane system.
Reduces Membrane Fouling
By lowering the fouling potential of feed water, the product extends membrane lifespan and reduces the frequency of chemical cleanings (CIP cycles).
Improves Permeate Quality
Cleaner feed water results in higher permeate flow, better salt rejection, and overall improved water quality at the system outlet.
Compatible with All Membrane Types
Genesys Flocculant is fully compatible with polyamide thin-film composite membranes and all major RO/NF/UF membrane brands, ensuring safe and effective use across systems.
Wide pH and Temperature Range
Performs efficiently over a broad range of pH (5–9) and temperature conditions, making it suitable for diverse industrial and municipal applications.
Non-toxic and Environmentally Friendly
The product is free from aluminium and phosphate compounds, ensuring compliance with environmental discharge regulations and making it safe for long-term use.
Cost-Effective Operation
Reduces maintenance, chemical cleaning, and membrane replacement costs by maintaining system performance and minimising downtime.

How It Works

The working principle of Genesys Flocculant is based on charge neutralisation and bridging mechanisms that destabilise colloidal particles suspended in water.

Charge Neutralisation
Most colloidal particles in water carry a negative surface charge, which causes them to repel each other and remain suspended. Genesys Flocculant neutralises these charges, allowing particles to come together and form larger clusters.
Bridging and Floc Formation
The active polymer chains in the flocculant form “bridges” between neutralised particles, creating larger flocs (clusters) that are easier to filter or settle.
Removal through Filtration or Sedimentation
Once formed, these larger flocs are removed by multimedia filters, cartridge filters, or ultrafiltration units, resulting in significantly cleaner feed water entering the RO system.

This mechanism enhances feed water clarity and reduces the fouling load on the downstream membranes.

Applications

Genesys Flocculant is suitable for a wide range of applications in water and wastewater treatment, including:

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Pretreatment
Improves feed water quality by reducing fouling and extending membrane life.
Ultrafiltration (UF) and Nanofiltration (NF) Systems
Prevents organic and colloidal buildup on membranes.
Surface Water Treatment
Ideal for rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with high turbidity and organic content.
Industrial Water Treatment Plants
Used in power generation, chemical processing, food & beverage, and electronics industries.
Municipal Water and Wastewater Reuse
Improves treatment efficiency and reduces sludge volume in recycling systems.
Desalination Plants
Ensures high-quality seawater pretreatment, especially in high-turbidity coastal environments.

Dosage and Application

The dosage of Genesys Flocculant depends on feed water quality, turbidity, and suspended solids concentration. Typical dosage ranges between 0.5 – 5.0 mg/L, though site-specific trials should determine the optimal rate.

Recommended Procedure:

Injection Point – Inject continuously into the feed water upstream of multimedia or cartridge filters.
Mixing and Contact Time – Ensure sufficient mixing for effective coagulation and floc formation.
Filtration – The formed flocs are removed by filtration, resulting in low-turbidity water entering the membrane.
Monitoring – Regularly monitor turbidity and SDI (Silt Density Index) values of feed and permeate to assess performance.

Note: For optimum results, feed water pH should be within 5–9, and temperature between 5°C and 40°C.

Storage and Handling

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Recommended storage temperature: 5°C to 30°C.
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
Avoid freezing or excessive heat exposure.
Use chemical-resistant pumps, hoses, and containers for dosing (PVC, PE, or PP materials recommended).

Health and Safety

Genesys Flocculant is non-hazardous and environmentally safe when handled properly. However, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Wear protective gloves, safety goggles, and appropriate clothing.
In case of accidental contact, rinse with plenty of clean water.
Do not ingest or inhale the chemical.
Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for full safety information before use.

Performance and Operational Benefits

Using Genesys Flocculant in a water treatment system results in:

Lower turbidity and silt density index (SDI) in feed water.
Reduced membrane fouling and longer cleaning intervals.
Enhanced membrane permeability and system throughput.
Consistent permeate quality and salt rejection performance.
Extended membrane lifespan, reducing long-term operational costs.
Improved filter performance and reduced backwashing frequency.

These benefits make Genesys Flocculant an integral part of sustainable and efficient membrane water treatment programmes worldwide.
