APS 700 Series Floc Log is a group of soil specific tailored log-block that contains blends of water treatment components and polyacrylamide co-polymer for water clarification and erosion control.  It reduces and prevents erosion of fine particles and colloidal clays from water.  There are more than 60 types of Floc Logs designed for varying soil and water conditions.  Contact Applied Polymer Systems, Inc. or your local distributor for testing and site-specific application information.

Primary Applications:
• Mine tailings and waste pile ditches
• Newly cleared construction or building sites drainage
• Road and highway construction runoff ditches
• Ditch placement for all forms of highly turbid waters
• Dredging operations as a flocculator

Features and Benefits:
• Removes solubilized soils and clay from water
• Prevents colloidal solutions in water within ditch systems
• Binds cationic metals within water, reducing solubility
• Reduces pesticide and fertilizer loss during rain events from runoff
• Increases soil permeability and water penetration to shallow plants in ditches
• Reduces operational and cleanup costs
• Reduces environmental risk and compliance

Specifications / Compliances:
• ANSI/NSF Standard 60 Drinking Water Treatment Chemical Additives
• 48Hr. or 96Hr. Acute Toxicity Tests (D. magna or O. mykiss)
• 7 day Chronic Toxicity Tests (P. promelas or C. dubia)

Packaging
APS 700 Series Floc Logs are packaged in boxes of 4.

Technical Information
Appearance: Semi-solid block
Biodegradable internal coconut skeleton
Percent Moisture: 40% maximum
pH of 0.5% solution: 6-8
Shelf Life: up to 5 Years

Placement
Each Floc Log is designed for placement within a ditch averaging 3 ft wide by 2 ft deep.  Floc Log placement is based on gallon per minute flow rates. 

Note: Actual GPM or dosage will vary based on site criteria and soil/water testing.

Directions for Use
Mixing of water and Floc Log is most important! APS 700 series Floc Log should be placed within the upper quarter to half of a ditch system or as close as possible to active earth moving activities.  Simply anchor a stake into the center of the ditch system as far upslope as possible and secure the Floc Log to the stake in the center of the ditch.  APS 700 series Floc Log can easily be moved to different locations as site conditions change.  The addition of soft armor covered ditch checks below the Floc Log will greatly improve water clarity.  Construction of mixing weirs may be required in areas with: short ditch lines, swelling clays, heavy particle concentrations, or steep slopes.

Cleanup
Use soap and water to wash hands after handling.  Plastic or rubber gloves are recommended during movement after usage.

Precautions / Limitations

• APS 700 series Floc Log will become extremely slippery when wet.
• Clean up spills quickly, DO NOT use water unless necessary as extremely slippery conditions will result.
• APS Floc Log will remain viable for up to 180 days.
• APS 700 series Floc Logs have been specifically tailored to specific soil types.  Soil types in varying geographical areas may require testing.  If proper performance of this product is not satisfactory, contact Applied Polymer Systems, Inc.
