An apparatus for preparing and dispensing a flocculant solution to dewatering an aqueous process stream includes a mixing pump, a maturing tank, and a feeding unit. The mixing pump mixes the flocculant solution and builds up a pressure onto the flocculant solution. The maturing pressure tank is fluidly connected with the mixing pump, so that the pressurized diluted flocculant solution is led from the mixing pump into the maturing pressure tank and matured therein under pressure that is above atmosphere pressure.

Provided is a method of dewatering aqueous sludge that is produced by waste water or sewage treatment facilities, such as from industrial and municipal processes. The method includes treating an aqueous sludge with an associative and branching or cross-linked inverse emulsion cationic polymer, wherein the associative properties of the cationic polymer are provided by an emulsification surfactant(s) chosen from diblock and triblock polymeric surfactants and/or cross-linking agents.

Embodiments relate to a continuous process for treating tailings that includes providing tailings for treatment having at least 10 wt % solids, providing a mixing apparatus having a first inlet for feeding the tailings, a second inlet for feeding a non-dispersion liquid flocculant that includes a polyethylene glycol having a weight average molecular weight from 100 g/mol to 2,000 g/mol, and an outlet for a mixture of the tailings and the non-dispersion liquid flocculant, continuously introducing into the mixing apparatus the tailings through the first inlet and the non-dispersion liquid flocculant through the second inlet, and allowing the tailings and the non-dispersion liquid flocculant to mix to from the mixture of the tailings and the non-dispersion liquid flocculant.
