Disc Technology: High-Performance Solid Chemistry Water Treatment

AP Tech Group’s proprietary Disc Technology represents the pinnacle of solid chemistry water treatment innovation. Engineered for high-volume commercial and industrial applications, these compressed solid discs fit seamlessly into our specialized enduroTEQ™ dissolving equipment. They deliver maximum chemical concentration with zero liquid fillers, providing a highly sustainable, space-saving, and safe alternative to traditional liquid water treatment for cooling towers, boilers, and closed loops.

Core Advantages: Why Switch to Disc Technology?

1. Superior Freight & Storage Efficiency

  • Zero Bulk Shipping Weight: By eliminating the water weight of traditional liquids, lightweight boxes of discs replace heavy pails and drums—drastically lowering shipping costs and freight emissions.
  • Minimal Footprint: Highly concentrated solid discs require up to 95% less storage space in your mechanical room compared to standard liquid chemical drums.

2. Precise, Continuous Automated Feeding

  • Controlled Dissolution rates: Formulated to dissolve at a highly stable, calibrated rate when used with our dissolvers.
  • No Inverted Draining Required: Unlike chemical bottles that require complete inversion to empty, discs sit flat on the dissolving screen, utilizing every ounce of active ingredient with zero product waste.

3. Maximum Occupational Safety & Risk Mitigation

  • Splash and Spill Elimination: Solid discs remove the risk of hazardous chemical splashes, broken liquid lines, or environmental warehouse spills.
  • Ergonomic Material Handling: Lightweight cardboard packaging completely eliminates the physical strain, forklifts, and workplace injury risks of moving heavy 55-gallon drums.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of solid chemistry vs. liquid water treatment?

Solid chemistry discs eliminate the splash, spill, and chemical handling hazards of liquid drums. They reduce shipping costs, require no secondary containment, take up 95% less warehouse space, and use 100% recyclable packaging.

How long do solid chemistry discs last in storage?

When stored in a dry area at temperatures below 100°F, solid chemistry discs have a shelf life of up to 5 years.

How do you add solid discs to an enduroTEQ dissolver?

Simply unwrap the 6-inch disc and place it into the top of the enduroTEQ dissolver. The system allows you to stack up to 4 discs at a time for continuous, automated chemical feeding.
