Where It Works

Illustrative use cases demonstrating our solutions in action:

New Clarifier Start-up
 
Challenge: A municipal plant needed faster settling and clearer overflow in a new clarifier.
Solution: Custom flocculant selection and dosing optimization to achieve target performance metrics from day one.
Belt Press Optimization
 
Challenge: Belt press producing wet cakes with poor filtrate quality.
Solution: Dewatering aid selection targeting higher cake dryness and cleaner filtrate, reducing disposal costs.

More Success Stories

Mining Thickener Challenge
Challenge: Mining thickener challenged by fines causing poor settling.
Solution: High molecular weight flocculant creating stronger floc structure, improving thickener performance and water recovery.

Oil & Gas Water Management
Challenge: Complex produced-water requiring multiple treatment steps.
Solution: Integrated program including flocculant, drag reduction additives, and disposal well compatibility testing.

Drilling Fluid Performance
Challenge: Water-based drilling fluid requiring better fluid loss control.
Solution: High-performance modified starch providing excellent fluid control while maintaining rheological properties.
