Residential water treatment is crucial for safeguarding both drinking water quality and the purity of aquatic environments like garden ponds. Water filtration systems, including reverse osmosis (RO) systems, are pivotal in removing contaminants from water sources, with the addition of antiscalants enhancing the efficiency and longevity of RO membranes. Micro and ultrafiltration technologies complement these systems, aided by specialised cleaning chemicals that dissolve foulants and maintain effectiveness. Additionally, Diatomix offers a natural solution for controlling algae in garden ponds, promoting water health and fostering a vibrant ecosystem for aquatic life.

With over a three decade expertise, AWC® has honed solutions for scaling challenges through research and development efforts. Leveraging their understanding of water chemistry, AWC® offers chemical and technical options for complex operational issues in membrane pretreatment processes. Renowned for its extensive line of RO antiscalants, membrane cleaning chemicals, and biocides designed to control and reverse all scales, AWC®stands as a trusted supplier of membrane chemicals for a diverse range of membrane systems, earning a reputation for reliability and excellence in the industry.
Neutralac® SLS45 is a groundbreaking liquid lime designed for wastewater treatment, that offers the swift and efficient neutralisation of acidic effluents, while adeptly regulating pH levels and eliminating heavy metals. Its prowess extends to precipitating sulfates, phosphates, and fluorides, as well as tackling fat, oil, and grease. This innovative solution surpasses conventional alkaline reagents in several aspects: boasting superior neutralisation capabilities compared to caustic soda or lime milk, exhibiting high reactivity akin to caustic soda, yet safer and easier to handle due to its non-corrosive nature and liquid form. Additionally, it ensures long-term suspension and remains economically advantageous with stable pricing and guaranteed availability.
TMT 15® is a versatile 15% aqueous solution composed of trimercapto-s-triazine, trisodium salt, ideal for wastewater treatment across diverse industries. Its environmentally friendly nature facilitates the formation of stable, insoluble heavy metal-TMT compounds, simplifying separation. Widely employed in combustion plants, incinerators, and various industrial settings, TMT 15® effectively addresses heavy metal wastewater challenges. Notably, TMT 15® ensures reliable results even when traditional methods falter, boasts proven success in numerous plants, and offers ease of use and integration into various processes. With the ability to recycle compounds and avoid costly secondary treatments, TMT 15® stands as a dependable solution for maintaining threshold values in industrial wastewater treatment.
Diatomix offers a unique and environmentally friendly solution for managing Blue Green Algae without harming aquatic life. Unlike traditional algaecides, Diatomix requires minimal infrastructure for dosing at water sources. Diatomix effectively eliminates algae blooms and water weeds in garden ponds, providing an easy, safe, and cost-effective solution. Blue-Green algae or Cyanobacteria, are distinct challenges due to their bacterial-like cell structure. Unlike diatoms, Cyanobacteria can cause toxic blooms, leading to fish kills as decomposing cells create anaerobic conditions. Diatomix prevents such occurrences by ensuring clear water surfaces, facilitating oxygen exchange, and mitigating the risk of harmful algae blooms.

Product and customer insights
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
