1. Water Treatment

• Flocculant for Effluent Treatment: Polyacrylamide is extensively used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants to promote flocculation, enabling the removal of suspended solids and turbidity from water.
• Sludge Dewatering Agent: It is added to sludge processing units to improve dewatering efficiency, resulting in drier sludge cakes and reduced disposal costs.
• Clarification and Filtration Aid: Enhances filtration processes by promoting particle aggregation, leading to cleaner effluent and reduced filter clogging.

2. Energy 

• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): Polyacrylamide increases the viscosity of injection fluids in oil reservoirs, improving sweep efficiency and maximizing oil displacement.
• Friction Reducer in Fracturing Fluids: Used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to reduce friction between water and pipes, thereby lowering pumping energy and costs.
• Drilling Mud Additive: Helps in stabilizing boreholes and controlling fluid loss during drilling operations by forming a protective filter cake.

3. Pulp & Paper Solutions

• Retention Aid: Improves the retention of fillers and fines in the papermaking process, enhancing paper quality and reducing waste.
• Drainage Enhancer: Accelerates water removal from pulp on the paper machine, improving machine speed and energy efficiency.
• Strength Additive: Provides dry and wet strength to paper products by forming hydrogen bonds with cellulose fibers.

4. Fabric Solutions

• Thickening Agent: Used in textile printing to increase the viscosity of dye pastes, ensuring sharp print definition and uniform dye penetration.
• Sewage Treatment for Textile Effluent: Applied in treating wastewater from dyeing operations, removing color and suspended particles before discharge.
• Sizing Agent Substitute: In some textile applications, polyacrylamide acts as a partial replacement for starch-based sizing agents to reduce yarn breakage.
