Presentation Description:
One of the defining themes of twenty-first century industry is the impact of industrial activity on climate and the environment. The water treatment industry has been and will continue to be a leader in the movement towards mitigating this impact. The environmental profile of water treatment products has been on a steady positive trend from the days of chromate treatments to the metal and phosphorus-free products that are gaining acceptance today. This paper will examine various properties of a useful class of water treatment actives produced by a novel process. This process based on biochemical reactions observed in nature is “carbon negative” and produces a class of hydrophilic organic acids from sustainable feedstocks. Some of the properties which are of interest to the water treatment industry are discussed, and applications are described.
