Environmentally Friendly Chemicals

Our innovative solid chemical products are among the most environmentally friendly chemicals to be designed and available for use in the treatment of industrial boiler systems, cooling towers and cooling water systems. They offer a number of significant environmental benefits over traditional liquid chemical products delivering improvements in environmental performance and helping to meet the increasing demands being placed on all responsible individuals and organisations.

Go Green - Mininise Waste & Recycle More

Helping you "Go Green" with our highly concentrated solid chemical products which are engineered to be fully consumed at the point of application to leave no waste. Our product packaging, which includes the individual plastic bottles and containers holding the chemical; and the outer cardboard packaging are also designed to be 100% recyclable.

“Your solid chemicals arrive on site, are fully consumed during the treatment process, and anything that’s left is simply recycled to leave no waste ...”

Our solid baton products are packaged in an innovative, water soluble wrapper thereby eliminating waste packaging, chemical contact; health and exposure issues.

Eliminate Empty Drum Storage, Drum Disposal and Landfill Issues

The fact that all our product bottles and outer packaging can be easily recycled as general waste also eliminates any empty drum storage, drum disposal and landfill issues that come with traditional liquid products.

Reduce Transport, Warehousing & Handling Costs

Generally, one case of our highly concentrated, waterless solid chemical weighs less than 22 Kg but will deliver as much active chemical as 115 to 375 litres of a liquid (depending on the manufacturers’ solution strength). A 200 litre drum of liquid chemical typically weighs over 220 Kg.

Containing no water makes our solid products significantly smaller and lighter than their traditional liquid chemical equivalents making them easier to move around and store. As a result, warehousing, transportation and handling costs can be significantly reduced.

Environmentally Sympathetic Products

Most components used in our solid chemical products are fully biodegradable. They are designed to break down to innocuous substances after use so that they do not accumulate in the environment.

The individual plastic containers and packaging used by us are all 100% recyclable, reducing their environmental impact and your waste disposal and landfill responsibilities.

Improving Energy Efficiency

Using our solid chemical products allows a facility to maximise its energy, water; and chemical savings, whilst minimising its impact on the environment, employees, and customers.

Our products are designed to dissolve at ambient temperatures, using normal “tap” water temperatures. Dissolving pressures are regulated and controlled through our SCT dosing systems, using normal mains water pressures.

Green Manufacturing

The "green manufacturing" process used in the production of our solid chemicals creates no by-products; and only rinse water is used to clean the production equipment.

The production of our solid chemicals does not require the addition of binders, or supplemental acids; and only minimal caustics are added during the manufacturing process. Unlike most liquid water treatment chemicals where substantial amounts of hazardous caustic are required to enhance the solubility of the product, our products do not require the addition of such hazardous materials.

By eliminating binders and solubility enhancers from the production process, all raw materials added to our products are fully consumed and no by-products or other forms of waste are produced in production or at the point of application.

Reducing Environmental Impact

Reducing the environmental impact of our activities is an important issue that every organisation now faces.

In the USA, if liquid water treatment products were replaced with our highly concentrated, waterless solid chemicals, the transport associated carbon savings achieved would be the equivalent of removing over 31,000 vehicles from the roads every year!

In addition to the carbon footprint reduction, the roads would become a safer place, with fewer hazardous chemical spills, fires and transport emergencies.
