Inorganic coagulants are pivotal for
safe drinking water and efficient wastewater purification. They are produced in Europe, thus ensuring a reliable local supply.
VALUE WE CREATE
Enabling safe, reliable and sustainable drinking water production and wastewater purification
KEY FACT
Inorganic coagulants are essential for safe drinking water and efficient wastewater purification
EVIDENCE
Used for thousands of years since the Ancient Egyptians
Produced in Europe ensuring a reliable local supply
Raw materials based on abundant resources and by-products
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
Chemical water treatment is the most energy efficient water treatment technology and has a low carbon footprint.
VALUE WE CREATE
Securing the energy efficiency of European water treatment facilities
KEY FACT
Chemical water treatment is the most energy efficient water treatment technology and has a low carbon footprint
EVIDENCE
50% less electricity
compared to biological treatment processes
Cradle-to-gate emissions
BEEF – Meat for one meal 7 persons 30Kg CO2 – eq emissions
COAGULANT – Drinking water for 1 day 70.000 persons 30Kg CO2 – eq emissions
SAFETY
