POLYMERS FOR TESTING AT THE

STICKNEY WATER RECLAMATION PLANT

SAMPLE SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE FEBRUARY 24, 2026

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (District) will conduct

tests at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) beginning in March 2026, to select

suitable Mannich polymers for dewatering the anaerobically digested sludge. Only

Mannich polymers will be considered for this evaluation.

Submittal of polymers for testing at the Stickney WRP will take place in accordance with

procedures set forth in this document.

Only manufacturers may submit polymers for testing. Prospective suppliers should

contact manufacturers to request that they participate in the testing program. At the time

of bid solicitation, any suppliers authorized by the manufacturer, as well as manufacturers

themselves, may participate in bidding.

The procedure to submit polymers for testing includes:

1. Manufacturers submit polymer data in the required "Polymer Data Form," as well as

pint-sized polymer samples for acceptance testing, as set forth in this document, by

11:00 AM (Central Time) on February 24, 2026.

2. Each manufacturer may submit up to two Mannich polymer samples.

3. For each polymer found qualified via the initial pint-sized sample and data, the District

will estimate a larger quantity needed for full-scale, controlled comparison testing and

inform manufacturers of the quantities needed and the date by which the larger

quantities must be received.

4. During full-scale testing, the District will calculate the quantity of each polymer required

to properly condition the total anticipated amount of sludge for the contract period.

5. Bids will be invited on all acceptable polymers.
