Ecopol - Wastewater Treatment Chemicals and Products

Economy Polymers & Chemicals is a leader in wastewater treatment products and chemicals, ensuring we provide reliable results to numerous wastewater treatment applications. Industries use our solutions to ensure they adhere to environmental regulations. These can also help prevent system failures in closed-loop water systems.

Wastewater treatment is a process where different types of water treatment chemicals are used to eliminate contaminants and pollutants. It’s then converted into an acceptable effluent, which can be safely released into the water cycle. Once in the water cycle, the effluents won’t negatively impact the environment.

Water treatment products are also used in industrial applications to improve their system’s efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Our chemical blends, such as polyacrylamide plant additives and plant-based Ecopol line products, can help you manage the water treatment process correctly and effectively.

Types of products we offer include:

• Coagulants and flocculants: Coagulation and flocculation facilitates the clumping of fine floc into larger floc for easier removal.
• Defoamers: These chemical additives eliminate existing foam in industrial process liquids.
• Scale inhibitors: Prevents or slows downscaling in water systems.
• De-sludgers: Removes build-up and other contaminants that accumulate in a system over time.
• Corrosion inhibitors: Creates a protective film on a system’s surface to prevent corrosion.
• Biocides: Controls the growth of microorganisms, such as algae and bacteria, which cause biofilms. Biofilms can cause more significant problems in closed-loop water systems, such as corrosion and fouling.

Depending on the type of contaminants and pollutants present, these water treatment chemicals help to reduce the concentration of hazardous substances and improve wastewater quality for a more effective water treatment process.

One of our main product offerings for water treatment is the Ecopol SI2000, a scale inhibitor. Scale inhibitors can delay or prevent scale formation and precipitation when added to water in small amounts. Inhibition happens when the chemicals react to potentially scale-forming substances.

Some considerations when adding scale inhibitors:

• The type of scale must be determined
• Scale severity
• pH environment
• Compatibility of the scale inhibitor to other chemicals
• Type of equipment or machinery

Chemicals that can be used:

• Sulfur Dioxide 
• Chlorine
• Sodium Hypochlorite
• Aqua Ammonia
• Liquid Ammonium Sulfate
• Zinc Orthophosphate Corrosion Inhibitor
• Dewatering Chemicals
• Polyacrylamide

Apart from wastewater treatment systems, our water treatment products can be used in a wide range of applications found in many demanding industries. Examples of these applications include:

• Industrial machinery and equipment
• Industrial water supply
• Purified drinking water
• River flow maintenance
• Water leisure

Remember, each application requires careful consideration to ensure you’re using the proper treatment chemical. It will avoid causing other problems due to not using the right product.
