Frequent Polymer Question
We are often asked how to select the right polymer charge. If you wish to float the floc, use a cationic polymer. If you wish to precipitate the floc, use an anionic polymer. The charge of the particles you are trying to bind will also influence your selection. Bench testing will answer additional questions about dosage.

Alken Even-Flo® Technical Updates
New Formula for Alken Even-Flo 910E Is Ready
Check with Valerie for updated Specification sheets and MSDS. The new transparent, pale straw to yellow formula will retain its environmental friendliness and performance characteristics which made the products famous.
Dosage Adjustment for EF 905 in Crude Pipelines and Storage Tanks
When large quantities are flowing through a storage tank or pipeline, the dosage may be decreased as follows: 42 gallons of regular strength per 10,000 barrels, to dissolve and prevent sludge formation. EF 905 2x and 3x are currently not stable. We are working on this problem now.
Dosage Adjustment for EF 910 in Refinery Diesel Storage Tanks
The 2x strength can be dosed at 1 gal. per 20,000 gallons, if high volumes pass through the tanks, while the normal dose for a storage tank that is filled once a month is 1 gal. to 10,000 - 14,000 gallons. An improved product should be available by mid to late July.
New Formula of Alken 860 Demulsifier Ready For the Market
The new improved Alken 860, with an even higher flashpoint, should solve problems easily again. Please allow a little time for us to handle your sample requests, but we will try to accommodate everyone as soon as we can. This product is now ready for sale to clients.
Zip Disk and Manual Finally Ready for Fuel Treatments
We will be sending out disks and manuals over the next couple of weeks to all of our fuel treatment distributors. Ken will revise the bacterial Zip disk program and instruction manual over the next few months. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your continued patience and interest. If you are a listed distributor and do not receive a disk and manual by the beginning of August, please contact us.

Alken Clear-Flo® Technical Updates
CF 4000 MSDS Updated
The updated MSDS is posted on our website, or is available from us. Those distributors with Zip files, please copy the corrections, or ask to be e-mailed the correct MSDS in Word Perfect format.
Powdered Oyster Shell
Instead of adding sodium bicarbonate to control pH in your lake or pond, you may prefer powdered oyster shells. Compare pricing.
Remember Easy and Reasonably Priced TPH Test Kit from CHEMetrics
See the RemediAid kit for more information on this kit.
Please Keep Checking Our Links
We have added many useful resources to our Biology Links, Chemistry Links and Supplier Links, so please be sure to check them once a month for more useful information and assistance. Whatever information we do not offer on our own website, we try to help you find the best answers. Our main link page can be accessed from the lower left side of our index page .
Revised Alken Nu-Bind Application Instructions, incl. Waste Treatment
Now easily figure dosages for application to lagoons, lift stations and industrial/municipal waste treatment systems. Alken Nu-Bind is superior for treating hydrogen sulfide odors, but does not handle mercaptans well.
New Product - Alken Nu-Bind 2
Since the original product was less successful with controlling MERCAPTAN odors, we now offer this new product for mercaptan odors. NB2 is also capable of handling lower levels of hydrogen sulfide
Website Product Bulletins Added
We have added the following product bulletins and MSDS to the web this month: CF 7005, 7006, 7008, 7015, & 7018. Links from the Dry bacterial product index. Always check for other updates. As Ken is fond of saying, "Just when you think you know where its at, Valerie moves it."
