Performance Testing

Sample Analysis & Free Product Matching

One flocculant does not work on all soil, sediment, or water. Performance testing flocculants before use allows matching the most effective APS polymer products to your site’s unique soil and water. Soil matching, or performance testing, is a requirement for flocculant use according to the USEPA Construction General Permit. Applied Polymer Systems offers free testing as well as test kits for those wishing to test their own soil, sediment, and water.

Recorded Webinars

Let’s Talk Floc III-Part Series

Let’s Talk Floc is a three part flocculant series from the company that brought flocculant (Floc) Logs and polymer enhanced BMPs to the erosion and stormwater industry. Let’s Talk Floc is a free webinar hosted by International Erosion Control Association. Attendees will receive 3-PDHs, click here to register!

  • Part 1 of the course 1) introduces flocculants, how they work and how to use them safely and effectively,
  • Part 2) reviews many commonly used flocculant applications in erosion and sediment control and present case studies highlighting their real-world use, and
  • Part 3) ties the first two hours together with a step-by-step design, plan, and implementation of flocculants for erosion and sediment control and water treatment.

SWPPP Radio Podcast

SWPPP Radio host Matt Lewis (QSP) and John Teravskis (QSP/QSD, Trainer of Record) continue their review of the new 2022 CGP. In this episode, Matt and John talk about a new tool added to the BMP toolbox … at least as far as the California CGP is concerned … Passive Treatment. They discuss the differences between active and passive treatment and the chemicals used to bind soil particles together to prevent erosion and reduce turbidity.
