Principal Uses MAGNASOL ® CN2 has been developed for use in situations where it is not convenient or economic to install make up equipment and dosing pumps that require electricity and clean water. MAGNASOL ® CN2 has been successful in treating the following applications: 1. Run off water from open cast coal sites and quarries. 2. Effluent from small industrial plants. 3. Run off water from stock yards and docks. 4. Effluent from wheel washing equipment. 5. Drainage water from construction sites. Application MAGNASOL ® CN2 has been designed to be placed in a wire basket which is situated in the effluent stream prior to a lagoon/settling pond. The basket containing the MAGNASOL ® CN2 should be placed 2 - 5 metres before the lagoon/settling pond. As the water stream passes round the MAGNASOL ® CN2 block it slowly dissolves. A turbulent zone should be created after the basket to allow mixing between the flocculant and the suspended solids. On entering the lagoon/settling pond the flocculated solids settle and the clear water can be discharged or reused. Dose Level The dose of MAGNASOL ® CN2 depends on the flow rate; to treat a large water volume it will be necessary to place a number of blocks in the stream.

MAGNASOL ® CN2 has a low order of toxicity and no special precautions are necessary in handling.

Ciba MAGNASOL CN2 Cationic flocculant
Introduction MAGNASOL CN2 is a cationic flocculant in the form of a solid block which has specifically been designed to dissolve slowly in flowing water and flocculate the suspended solids. MAGNASOL CN2 is ideally suited for remote locations where electricity is not available.
Principal Uses MAGNASOL CN2 has been developed for use in situations where it is not convenient or economic to install make up equipment and dosing pumps that require electricity and clean water.
MAGNASOL CN2 has been successful in treating the following applications:
1. Run off water from open cast coal sites and quarries. 2. Effluent from small industrial plants. 3. Run off water from stock yards and docks. 4. Effluent from wheel washing equipment. 5. Drainage water from construction sites.
Application MAGNASOL CN2 has been designed to be placed in a wire basket which is situated in the effluent stream prior to a lagoon/settling pond. The basket containing the MAGNASOL CN2 should be placed 2 - 5 metres before the lagoon/settling pond.
As the water stream passes round the MAGNASOL CN2 block it slowly dissolves. A turbulent zone should be created after the basket to allow mixing between the flocculant and the suspended solids.
On entering the lagoon/settling pond the flocculated solids settle and the clear water can be discharged or reused.
Dose Level The dose of MAGNASOL CN2 depends on the flow rate; to treat a large water volume it will be necessary to place a number of blocks in the stream. When there is no flow the MAGNASOL CN2 stops dissolving.
Storage and handling MAGNASOL CN2 is manufactured in 3kg blocks and packed in boxes containing 8 blocks (24kg). MAGNASOL CN2 has a low order of toxicity and no special precautions are necessary in handling. The size of the Magnasol blocks are 80mm Depth, 210mm Long and 150mm Wide
