Nalco wins manufacturer award from WateReuse Association

Nalco has been presented with the 2011 WateReuse Equipment/Manufacturer Award thanks to the innovative nature of its water recycling products.

The WateReuse Association has honoured the company with this prestigious accolade, which recognises outstanding commitment and performance by a specialty-equipment product or manufacturer.

In particular, the company's 3D Trasar Technology for Cooling Water has been praised for saving more than 346 billion gallons of water since its introduction, with more than 18,000 customer locations worldwide utilising the technology.

It allows cooling towers to operate effectively for longer without the need for fresh water, cutting water usage while helping to conserve energy.

Wade Miller, executive director for the WateReuse Association, said: "Nalco has been involved in a number of innovative commercial, industrial and institutional projects that have enabled significant reuse and recycling of water around the world."

Earlier this month, the company launched 3D Trasar Technology for Membranes, which helps to improve the efficiency of water purification systems.
