SAFETY & SUSTAINABILITY
Making the switch to solid chemistry delivers significant increases in safety & sustainability.
AP Tech’s solid chemistry water treatment programs are a strong choice over liquid-based programs for organizations with safety & sustainability goals.
Manufactured in line with the EPA’s Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry, solid chemistry prioritizes safety, efficiency, and resource conservation throughout transport, application, and storage, providing significant advantages that make the transition worthwhile.
SAFETY BENEFITS
- Eliminate the risk of discharging hazardous liquid chemicals into the environment during shipment, storage, or application.
- Improve operator safety by reducing exposure to hazardous chemicals.
- Remove the risk of injury. Solids are lightweight and easy to carry compared to liquids, which are often heavy and awkward to handle.
- Eliminate dangerous and offensive odors or fumes.
- Smaller profile blended solid concentrate water treatment products are safe and simple to apply, meaning safer, cleaner mechanical rooms.
REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT & INCREASE SUSTAINABILTY
- Plastic savings achieved through reduced product container size and the use of fully recyclable containers and packaging. (Liquids using pails or drums are not recyclable and must be rinsed and disposed of in landfills.)
- A 55-gallon drum, weighing 500 pounds, will consume 2.5 more gallons of diesel fuel per typical shipment than a 44-pound case of solids with the same amount of active ingredients. Get information on our Carbon Footprint Calculator/Infographic.
- Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) savings from reduced power to produce NaOH
REDUCE ECONOMIC CONCERN
- Maximize utility efficiencies and equipment life.
- Control corrosion, reduce scale deposits, and eliminate microbiological deposits and fouling.
- Water savings result from eliminating the need for triple rinsing and from increased cycles of concentration.
- Reduces costs associated with health issues resulting from chemical exposure and drum handling injuries
- Space savings in mechanical room.
- Water savings associated with rinsing drums.
- Water savings associated with increased cycles of concentration.
