BWD-01 COD Reduction & Paper Mill Decolorizing Agent Primary Decolorizing Agent Decolorizer Decolourant Water Decoloring Agent
Product Overview
BWD-01 Water Decoloring Agent is a high-efficiency primary decolorizing agent specially developed for industrial wastewater color removal, COD reduction, and flocculation treatment applications. The product is widely used in paper mill wastewater treatment, textile dyeing wastewater, pigment wastewater, printing ink wastewater, and chemical wastewater clarification systems.
Paper mill wastewater and industrial colored effluent often contain dissolved organic compounds, lignin residues, dyes, suspended solids, and high COD contaminants that are difficult to remove using traditional inorganic coagulants alone.
BWD-01 Decolorizer Decolourant is designed to solve these treatment challenges by rapidly destabilizing color substances and improving sedimentation efficiency, helping wastewater treatment plants achieve clearer effluent and lower operating costs.

Why Paper Mill and Industrial Wastewater Are Difficult to Treat
Common Wastewater Treatment Challenges
Paper mill wastewater and industrial effluent commonly contain:
- Lignin and organic color compounds
- Printing dyes and pigments
- Suspended solids
- Fine colloidal particles
- High COD substances
- Organic contaminants
Traditional coagulants often cannot effectively remove soluble color molecules and fine suspended particles, especially in high-color wastewater systems.
This may result in:
- Dark final effluent
- Poor discharge compliance
- High sludge production
- Slow sedimentation
- Increased chemical consumption
- Unstable clarification performance
Solution for COD Reduction and Wastewater Decolorization
High-Efficiency Primary Decolorizing Agent
BWD-01 works through strong cationic charge neutralization and polymeric flocculation mechanisms.
The product rapidly reacts with negatively charged organic color compounds, dyes, and suspended particles in wastewater, helping form dense flocs for easier sedimentation or flotation separation.
Treatment performance:
- Color removal efficiency: 50%–99%
- COD reduction efficiency: 50%–80%
- Faster flocculation and settling
- Lower sludge generation
Compared with conventional inorganic coagulants, BWD-01 offers better color removal performance and lower sludge disposal costs.
For difficult wastewater systems, the product is commonly used together with PAC and PAM to improve overall treatment efficiency.
Recommended dosing sequence:
BWD-01 → PAC → PAM
Recommended operating pH:
7.5–8.0

How It Works
Working Principle of Water Decoloring Agent
The treatment process mainly includes:
- Charge neutralization
- Organic color destabilization
- Polymer bridging
- Flocculation and sedimentation
After dilution, BWD-01 is added directly into wastewater.
The cationic polymer rapidly adsorbs negatively charged dye molecules and organic particles, helping form large and dense flocs.
These flocs are then removed through sedimentation or dissolved air flotation systems.
For wastewater with high COD or dark color, PAC and PAM are usually combined to improve treatment performance and settling efficiency.
How To Choose the Right Decolorizing Agent
Choose According to Wastewater Characteristics
Different wastewater systems contain different contaminants:
- Paper mill wastewater usually contains lignin and organic color compounds
- Textile wastewater contains reactive and soluble dyes
- Ink wastewater contains fine colloidal particles
Jar testing is strongly recommended before full-scale dosing.
Evaluate COD Reduction Requirements
For wastewater treatment plants with strict discharge requirements, users should evaluate:
- Color removal efficiency
- COD reduction performance
- Sludge generation
