BWD-01 Dicyandiamide Based Decolorizer Decolourant for Printing Ink Wastewater
BWD-01 Dicyandiamide Based Decolorizer Decolourant for Printing Ink Wastewater
Product Overview
BWD-01 Dicyandiamide Based Decolorizer Decolourant is a high-efficiency organic cationic polymer specially developed for printing ink wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater decolorization, COD reduction, and coagulation applications. The product is widely used for treating water-based ink wastewater, pigment wastewater, textile dyeing wastewater, paper mill wastewater, and other high-color industrial effluents.
Printing ink wastewater often contains fine pigment particles, resin compounds, organic dyes, emulsified substances, and suspended solids that are difficult to remove through conventional inorganic coagulants alone.
BWD-01 Water Decoloring Agent is designed to rapidly destabilize color substances and improve flocculation efficiency, helping wastewater treatment systems achieve clearer effluent and lower sludge generation.

Why Printing Ink Wastewater Is Difficult to Treat
Common Challenges in Ink Wastewater Treatment
Printing ink wastewater usually contains:
- Organic pigments
- Water-based colorants
- Resin particles
- Fine colloids
- Suspended solids
- High COD organic contaminants
Compared with normal industrial wastewater, ink wastewater often has:
- Strong residual color
- Stable colloidal systems
- Slow sedimentation
- Difficult clarification
- High treatment chemical demand
Traditional coagulants may not effectively remove dissolved color and fine particles, especially in wastewater containing water-based printing inks.
Without effective pretreatment, wastewater treatment systems may experience unstable discharge quality and excessive sludge production.
Solution for Printing Ink Wastewater Treatment
High-Efficiency Dicyandiamide Based Decolourant
BWD-01 works through strong cationic charge neutralization and polymer flocculation mechanisms.
The product rapidly reacts with negatively charged pigment particles, dyes, and colloids in wastewater, helping destabilize color substances and improve coagulation performance.
Treatment performance:
- Color removal efficiency: 50%–99%
- COD reduction efficiency: 50%–80%
- Faster flocculation and settling
- Lower sludge generation
Compared with traditional inorganic coagulants, BWD-01 provides stronger color removal capability and more stable clarification performance for printing ink wastewater systems.
For difficult wastewater conditions, the product is commonly used together with PAC and PAM.
Recommended treatment sequence:
BWD-01 → PAC → PAM
Recommended operating pH:
7.5–8.0

How It Works
Working Principle of Dicyandiamide Based Decolorizer
The treatment process mainly includes:
- Charge neutralization
- Pigment destabilization
- Polymer bridging
- Flocculation and sedimentation
After dilution, BWD-01 is dosed directly into wastewater.
The cationic polymer rapidly adsorbs negatively charged pigment particles and dyes, helping form large and dense flocs.
The flocs are then removed through sedimentation or dissolved air flotation systems.
For wastewater with high COD or strong residual color, PAC and PAM are commonly combined to improve treatment performance and sedimentation efficiency.
How To Choose the Right Ink Wastewater Decolorizer
Choose According to Ink Wastewater Characteristics
Different ink wastewater systems contain different contaminants:
