Nalco offers solution for water waste

Nalco helps to reduce the ethanol industry’s environmental footprint.

The water treatment company has created a method to help ethanol producers solve water issues by taking a holistic approach.

Water usage has only just been addressed by the environmentally aware industry according to the firm as most plants operate a zero liquid discharge process.

The organisation has produced a cooling tower treatment and control solution, 3D TRASER technology – which it claims will save hundreds of millions of gallons of water.

It has also introduced Mobotec which it says will help solid boiler operators reduce emissions.

A company statement said: "Balancing environmental sustainability with maximised production and minimised investment can be a difficult feat.

"Because of the industry’s awareness of its environmental impact, focus has always been on increasing energy efficiency associated with the process."

The firm claims to be the world’s leading water treatment and process improvement company, delivering significant environmental, social and economic benefits to a variety of industries.
