Less than 3% of all water on earth is freshwater and, because most of that is locked in ice caps or deep underground, only 1% is available to us. Since life is impossible without H2O, which makes up around 60% of our bodies, taking care of the world’s freshwater is of the utmost importance.

Drinking water
Drinking water producers are faced with ever-deteriorating quality of raw water, as well as ever-tightening regulations for safe and clean potable water.
Raw water contains varying proportions of organic decomposition products, sand/clay particles, algae, bacteria and viruses and pH may fluctuate as well. Coagulation and flocculation are the most effective treatment methods. The coagulants, polymers and antiscalants in our portfolio are FDA compliant and NSF certified.
- R&D and technology expertise to the water market, based on decades of experience in a broad range of applications,
Color, taste and appearance
Nobody appreciates suspicious color, taste or appearance in their water. Removal of suspended solids is one important issue when aiming to produce healthy and aesthetic water.
We have developed safe coagulants and flocculants with high-performing properties for removing suspended solids. With a little help from arcis biotech, you can reach exceptionally low residual particle matter.
- Color may be caused by dissolved organic matter, like humic and fulvic acids, or can also result from mineral impurities such as iron and manganese.
- For metal removal, our products are commonly used for precipitation of both particle-bound and dissolved heavy metals.
Desalination and water reuse
In areas where natural groundwater or surface water cannot meet demand, seawater and brackish water are desalted and processed into drinking water and process water.
To make this kind of water usable, the main salt components, sodium and chloride, must be removed by using a special membrane technology called Reverse Osmosis (RO).
- This means treatment and recycling of wastewater to be used in industrial processes, agriculture or in some cases for municipal purposes.
- We offers a holistic, cost-effective membrane program for desalination plants and water reuse applications
Process water
Each process water system is different and requires products that are customized depending on the water quality, branch of industry and process parameters.
Water reuse is also a viable option in industrial settings, especially in water-scarce areas. With the right treatment technologies, water can be reused through several cycles, which helps to balance the gap between water supply and demand. In all cases, getting the chemistry right is extremely important for maximum efficiency.
- While minimizing damage to equipment and maintenance shutdowns.
- We help you optimize the total cost of process with lower energy and water consumption.
