Green chemistry, also known as sustainable chemistry, is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry applies across the life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, and use. It consists of chemicals and processes designed in a manner that minimizes or eliminates environmental harm. During manufacture, transport, use and disposal – each step involves waste reduction, employment of non-toxic components, reduced energy use and improved efficiency.
Green chemistry translates to an effective way to prevent pollution as these more environmentally sound scientific innovations are applied to real-world situations.
The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, as defined by Paul Anastas and John Warner in Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, provide a road map. Aquatrol Technologies is committed to these 12 Principles. Our Green Chemistry initiative is the platform from which Aquatrol product design scientists and engineers work. We are pleased to offer our clients an array of treatment technologies that promotes the selection and use of environmentally friendly chemicals, eliminates waste and minimizes energy consumption.
In the water management realm, Green chemistry is about developing and advancing treatment innovation with the objective of reducing our environmental footprint. An overview of Aquatrol Technologies green chemistry offerings follows:
The AQUASOL line includes boiler water and cooling water treatment products formulated in a highly concentrated solid form. Formulations include single component and multiple component blends for all your deposit and corrosion control needs.
The AQUASOL product packaging is a convenient plastic jar that is inverted and seated in a dissolution and dosing unit. This technology is an option to be considered for smaller boiler and cooling water systems because it will:
Formulations available in the AQUASOL solid line include:
CLEANERS – ODOR CONTROL – WASTEWATER TREATMENTS
Aquatrol Technologies formulates a variety of bio-enzymatic based chemistries many of which are Green chemistries with ECOLOGO certification. The Green AQUAKLEEN and CLEARFLO products are used in a broad range of applications including:
