Reduce water intake
Reduce water intake
Improved water efficiency means not only demonstrated commitment to your sustainability goals, but also improved production efficiency. Wet-end chemistry through PARETO™ Mixing Technology improves productivity while providing water and energy savings. This solution can help one mill save millions of gallons of water per year.
Reduce COD discharge
Reduce COD discharge
Decreasing the organic content (COD) of process water is a core aspect of water management system best practices. Financial and organizational investments in improving water management systems have provided great progress into reaching COD reduction goals, but the next step is integrating these best practices into the remaining operations. Ecolab offers a number of integrated wastewater treatment solutions and tools to efficiently analyze, evaluate, and treat your entire wastewater operation.
