SoliSep* MPT104
Anionic Polymeric Flocculant
• Easy-to-feed, liquid anionic polymer flocculant
(i.e. not an emulsion polymer, no carrier solvent).
• Designed for use with inorganic coagulants to
improve coagulation and floc formation.
• Suitable for use in front of RO pretreatment unit
operations (MMF, UF, MF).
• Compatible with all Hypersperse* antiscalants.
• NSF approved for use in potable systems (certi-
fied to NSF/ANSI Standard 60).
Description and Use
SoliSep* MPT104 is a liquid, mildly anionic, poly-
meric flocculant. This product is designed to func-
tion in membrane pretreatment applications as a
coagulant aid or a flocculant to help in the removal
of particulate matter, turbidity, and color.
The active components in SoliSep MPT104 contain
long-chain organic molecules that use charge func-
tionality to pull together coagulated solids into a
more dense and heavier floc. This dense, rapid-
forming floc quickly settles out of the feed water
and is readily removed by media filters and other
pretreatment unit operations.
SoliSep MPT104 is designed for use in conjunction
with inorganic coagulants (e.g. SoliSep MPT103) to
enhance filtration processes and deliver excellent
filtered water quality in membrane pretreatment
applications. This product is chlorine resistant and
approved for use in potable water applications.
Application and Dosing
SoliSep MPT104 should be fed upstream of multi-
media filters or upstream of a clarifier. When used
in conjunction with a coagulant, the feed point
should be downstream of the coagulant feed point,
with careful consideration given to reaction time of
the coagulant. The product should be fed to a point
of good mixing, but not violent agitation. Vigorous
mixing may decrease the activity of the product.
The typical dosage range is between 5 and 10 ppm
(mg/L). For potable applications the maximum dos-
age is 50 ppm (mg/L). Contact your local GE repre-
sentative to define optimal feed point and dosage.
SoliSep MPT104 can be fed neat (undiluted) using a
suitable high-viscosity pump or it can be diluted to
any ratio to meet the chemical feed pump capacity
requirements. When diluting, use high quality water
such as permeate or deionized water. When feed-
ing diluted product, periodically examine the make-
down tank for evidence of microbiological (MB)
growth. If MB growth is observed, sanitize the tank
and reduce the batch size. For best results, SoliSep
MPT104 should be fed neat.
Important Note: Over-dosing this polymeric floccu-
lant can adversely impact filter performance.
Packaging Information
SoliSep MPT104 is a liquid material, available in a
variety of containers and delivery methods. Contact
your GE sales representative for details.
Safety Precautions
Spilled polymer is very slippery. Small amounts of
spilled polymer can be washed down with copious
amounts of water. Large spills should be contained
and absorbed on inert material, then disposed as
solid waste, prior to flushing with water.

information about this product is available upon
