Industrial Water Engineering products are formulated and applied following the 12 EPA guidelines for Green Chemistry:
Products are designed to be used in their entirety, with the container being recyclable. No fillers or other product modifiers are added. The manufacturing process produces no byproduct, and only rinse water is used to clean the production equipment. All rinse water is recycled.
IWE products use state-of-the art chemical technology to optimize, scale prevention, corrosion protection, microbial control, and fouling minimization. Products are designed for maximum safety. Using IWE products will allow the facility to maximize energy, water, and chemical dollar savings, while minimizing impact to the environment, employees, and customers of the facility. No potential for chemical contact with the employees and customers of the facility. No noxious odors as may be experienced from other chemicals. No disposal issues. The design allows for 100% use of the products.
No acids and minimal caustics are added during the manufacturing process. In most liquid water treatment chemicals, substantial amounts of hazardous caustic are required to be added to maintain solubility of the components.
IWE products are packaged in recycled containers.
During the manufacturing process, there are no stoichiometric reagents used. The only catalysts required are heat and cooling during the process. No waste is produced in the process.
Production of the IWE products does not require the addition of binders, or supplemental caustics to enhance solubility of the product.
By not using binders or solubility enhancers in the production process, all of the raw materials added are utilized and no by products or other forms of waste are produced in production or at the point of application.
No solvents or other auxiliary chemicals are used in the production of IWE products.
IWE products are designed to be utilized at ambient temperatures. IWE products are proven to improve thermal efficiency of boilers and chillers.
All the components utilized in the IWE products are biodegradable at a Waste Water Treatment Plant. All components meet discharge regulations to Municipal Water Water Treatment Plants.
IWE products are designed to be controlled using real time internet based control systems and data logging. Excess chemical use is avoided. On line monitoring of system cycles, feed activated by demand, and other types of feed and control are made using our program IWeservice.com.
IWE products are among the safest chemicals to be designed and available for use in facilities operations. IWE staff provides chemical systems so the customer does not need to handle chemicals. Our staff is trained in chemical safety and chemical transportation.
