Rheomax DR 1030 Equivalent — Anionic PAM Powder Screening for Slimes Thickening
ChinaPAM can accept a Rheomax DR 1030 enquiry and move to an anionic polyacrylamide powder screening route once the full label, the tailings or slimes stream and the thickener conditions are confirmed. Send the exact label as printed — the DR designation and the 1030 number together — and the enquiry opens. ChinaPAM will review the screening bracket, arrange a trial on your own material and discuss sample arrangements after intake.

Key Features
- Anionic polyacrylamide powder identity corroborated for the exact model by a public-authority decision referencing the safety data sheet and a mirrored safety data sheet record
- Written for the mineral-sands slimes thickening duty the BASF case study actually documents, not for mining tailings in general
- Charge and molecular weight kept open because the held documents do not publish either — the trial on your own slimes decides the route
- The full anionic powder range reviewed on enquiry, with every matching grade eligible until feed and trial data narrow it
- High-slimes feed swings treated as a test condition in their own right, because the case describes thickener bypass and shutdown during those periods before the treatment change
- Case-study dose kept inside its own site context and never offered as a starting specification for another ore
- Two evidence-based failure modes surfaced, each with a verification step that catches it before bulk commitment
- Preparation, maturation and solution-age checks agreed before any product comparison, so a preparation fault is not mistaken for a product difference
Applications
- Anionic powder selection for a confirmed Rheomax DR 1030 purchase requirement
- Mineral-sands slimes thickening where underflow density and thickener stability are the operating constraints
- Tailings water recovery duties screened on the buyer's own material after intake
- Thickener operation through variable high-slimes feed periods, where the route must hold up on adverse feed as well as normal feed

The supply answer first: an anionic powder screening route, no single grade pre-named
A confirmed Rheomax DR 1030 enquiry gets an anionic polyacrylamide powder screening route from ChinaPAM. ChinaPAM reviews the label and the process conditions, issues the applicable product documents for whichever route is quoted, and arranges a selection trial on your own material. That is the commercial answer, and it is a selection and supply service rather than branded stock or an equivalence claim.
No single grade is named up front. The published sources for this model establish that it is an anionic polyacrylamide in powder form, but they do not fix a reliable charge density or molecular-weight band. Naming one grade on that basis would be a guess dressed up as a specification, so the trial on your own slimes selects the route instead.
Price, stock and lead time belong to the quotation and are not stated from the held documents.
Identity lock: the full Rheomax DR 1030 name, not a nearby number
Send the incumbent name in full: Rheomax DR 1030, with the DR designation intact. Other numbers in the same brand family are separate products with their own evidence, and this page does not treat them as interchangeable with 1030. A quote built on a nearby number is a quote for a different requirement.
Collect the bag label and the current supplier TDS or safety data sheet before the quotation stage. The documents behind this page are a case study and identity records; they are not a current specification sheet, so the buyer-held TDS is what governs the comparison on charge, molecular weight and handling.
Send the exact label, or a photograph of the bag, to open the enquiry.
Three facts the sources actually establish
Each fact below is tied to a specific document and locator. None is inferred from a resale listing or a distributor page.
| Fact | Source | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| A BASF mineral-sands case study reports that RHEOMAX 1030 replaced a conventional thickener flocculant and increased underflow density from 16% to 20% wt/wt. | BASF mineral-sands case study for the exact model, PDF page 4. | One mineral-sands slimes thickener only. Not a transferable target, not a specification, and not a result ChinaPAM offers on any other ore. |
| In that same case the throughput increased from 1,206 to 1,533 tpd while the dose decreased from 404 to 267 g/t. | BASF mineral-sands case study for the exact model, PDF page 4. | The same single site under its own feed, water and equipment. Not a transferable guarantee, and the 267 g/t figure is not a starting dose for any other plant. |
| The exact model is corroborated as an anionic polyacrylamide in dry-powder form by a public-authority decision referencing the product safety data sheet and by a mirrored BASF safety data sheet record. | Public-authority decision and mirrored safety data sheet record; two independent web-evidence captures. | Identity and physical form only. No charge density, no molecular weight, no formula, and nothing about current availability on either side. |
Two failure modes and the check that catches each one
Both come out of the held evidence for this specific model and this duty, not from general advice.
| Trigger | Consequence | Verification step |
|---|---|---|
| A route is selected on a clean, low-slimes sample and then run during high-slimes feed swings. The case study records that high-slimes periods caused thickener bypass or shutdown before the treatment change, so those periods are a real operating condition on this duty rather than an edge case. | Water loss, unstable underflow and lost throughput can return even when a single-point jar test looked acceptable. | Test normal and high-slimes samples, not just the clean one. Record settling rate, supernatant clarity, underflow density and yield stress, pumpability and bypass risk on each. |
| The published 267 g/t field dose is copied as a starting specification for a different ore, a different solids loading or a different make-down system. The case reports a site-specific change from 404 to 267 g/t under its own mineral-sands conditions. | A copied dose can under-dose, over-dose, or hide a preparation problem behind an apparently reasonable number — which turns the selection into a false equivalence decision. | Prepare a fresh powder solution under controlled maturation, run a dose ladder on your own material, and select on the agreed operating metrics rather than on the case-study dose. |
Route boundary: why the whole anionic powder range stays open
The held sources confirm what the incumbent is — an anionic polyacrylamide powder — and what it did on one mineral-sands thickener. They do not publish its charge density or its molecular-weight tier. Cross-vendor tolerance and formula are likewise unknown, and this page keeps those unknowns visible rather than filling them in.
All 26 anionic powder records in the ChinaPAM range were reviewed against this enquiry. Every matching anionic powder stays eligible until feed and trial data select one primary and one backup route.
What is known is the target duty: mineral-sands slimes thickening, tailings water recovery, and operation through variable high-slimes periods. What is unknown stays test-required. One primary and one backup route are named only after the feed data and the trial results support them.
Intake, preparation, trial design and acceptance metrics
Useful intake, in order: ore or tailings type; solids percentage; particle-size distribution and the clay or fines fraction; pH; conductivity or salinity; iron, calcium and magnesium where relevant; the incumbent product and its active dose stated as active polymer; current make-down concentration and maturation time; thickener feedwell and shear conditions; and the acceptance targets the duty is judged by.
ChinaPAM powder preparation runs at a 1–3 g/L recommended window, 5 g/L maximum, and no longer than 60 minutes at working concentration. Preparation concentration is not process dosage.
Before any product comparison, settle the preparation: confirm powder wetting and dispersion, full maturation time, solution age at the point of application, transfer shear from pumps and piping, and the calibrated active concentration actually reaching the process. A preparation fault left unchecked will be read as a product difference.
The trial uses the same representative feed and the same process water for the incumbent and for the ChinaPAM candidates, with a controlled dose ladder and repeated measurements rather than one clean beaker result. Normal and adverse feed conditions both belong in the matrix — for this duty the adverse condition is the high-slimes swing.
Pre-agree the acceptance metrics before the first jar: settling rate, overflow clarity or turbidity, underflow solids density and yield stress, water recovery, throughput, pumpability, active dose and operational stability. Record the conditions where a candidate fails as carefully as the conditions where it performs best.
Go/no-go: proceed to quotation only after the identity is locked and testing on your own material supports the route. If the identity stays unresolved or the trial results conflict, the candidate stops there and goes back for review rather than being named as a route. Current price, stock status, lead time, applicable TDS and sample arrangements are confirmed in the quotation. Batch-specific COA terms are confirmed with the shipment.
Brand Equivalents & Replacements
ChinaPAM accepts a confirmed Rheomax DR 1030 enquiry and screens its own anionic powder range against it. No single grade is named in advance, because the published sources do not fix a reliable charge or molecular-weight band for the incumbent — the trial on your own slimes selects the route. Nothing on this page is a tested replacement or an equivalent-performance statement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rheomax DR 1030 Equivalent — Anionic PAM Powder Screening for Slimes Thickening
Can ChinaPAM supply for a Rheomax DR 1030 requirement?
Yes — ChinaPAM screens its anionic polyacrylamide powder range against a Rheomax DR 1030 requirement. Send the full label as printed, or a bag photo, and the enquiry opens. ChinaPAM will review the screening route, arrange a trial on your own slimes and discuss sample arrangements. No drop-in or identical-formula claim is made.
Why is no specific ChinaPAM grade pre-named for Rheomax DR 1030?
Because the published sources for this model establish identity and form — an anionic polyacrylamide powder — but not a reliable charge density or molecular-weight band. Without those, picking one grade in advance would be guesswork. The whole matching anionic powder range stays eligible, and the trial on your own material selects the primary and backup route.
The case study shows underflow density rising from 16% to 20% wt/wt. Can I expect that on my thickener?
No. That result belongs to one mineral-sands slimes thickener in a BASF case study, under that site's own feed, water and equipment. The same case reports throughput rising from 1,206 to 1,533 tpd and dose falling from 404 to 267 g/t at that single site. None of those figures is a target ChinaPAM offers, and none transfers to a different ore. Your numbers come from a trial on your own material.
Can I use the 267 g/t dose from the case study as a starting point?
No, and this is the most expensive misreading on this page. That dose was the endpoint of a site-specific change from 404 g/t under one mineral-sands plant's conditions and make-down system. Copied to a different ore or solids loading it can under-dose, over-dose, or mask a preparation problem. Prepare a fresh solution under controlled maturation and run a dose ladder on your own material instead.
My bags read a different Rheomax number. Does this page cover it?
Not as written. Each number in that brand family has its own evidence, and this page is built only on documents that name the exact model. Send the full label as printed, including the DR designation, and the enquiry is routed to the evidence that actually covers your grade.
My thickener goes through heavy slimes periods. Does that change the trial?
Yes, and it should be built into the matrix from the start. The case study records that high-slimes periods caused thickener bypass or shutdown before the treatment change, so a route chosen on a clean low-slimes sample can look fine in the jar and still lose water, underflow stability and throughput in operation. Test a high-slimes sample alongside the normal one and score both.
What is confirmed in the quotation, and what is not stated here?
Current price, stock status, lead time, applicable TDS and sample arrangements are confirmed in the quotation. Batch-specific COA terms are confirmed with the shipment.
