BASF Wastewater Treatment Products

BASF’s waste water treatment chemicals include flocculants and coagulants especially designed for the solid/liquid separation in industrial and municipal waste water treatment.

Want higher cake solids?

• Reduce the energy required for transporting and disposing at a landfill.
• Cake that are dry enough it can be incinerated as fuel to generate energy.
• Lower transportation and disposal costs

BASF customers report that cake solids of dewatered sludge increased on average by 15%. Other customer cases show a significant dose savings of up to 20%.

Zetag® Flocculant Technology – advanced dewatering performance For many years cationic polyacrylamide flocculants have been used in the sludge dewatering process. Optimizing the dewatered biosolids is essential to maintain the sustainability and efficiency of the process.

• Optimized solid/liquid separation process
• Excellent sludge dewatering results

Burst®  A wide range of specialty surfactants used to assist in cleaning applications as wetting agents, anti-foams and emulsifier/dispersing agents for industrial and municipal market applications.

Antiprex®  A wide range of chelating agents,  organic acids, and anti-scalants.

Don’t Let Struvite Clog Your Pipes

Introducing Aqua Hawk^® Struv EX, an effective, versatile, high-performing, eco-friendly, organic acid that
removes scale fast!

Aqua Hawk^® Struv EX offers faster removal/cleaning times and is more efficacious than corrosive mineral acids,
without the damaging corrosive effects.

Aqua Hawk^® Struv EX – Your Solution to Struvite Problems

Struvite – A hard mineral scale which causes many process issues. Having struvite scale in a wastewater treatment system can lead to great inefficiency within the plant due to scale on lines and belts, in centrifuges and pumps, clogging of system pipes and other equipment including the anaerobic digester itself.  Struvite is very hard and can be difficult to physically remove.

There have been a few physical options to solve this issue – replacing pipes, using a hydro-jet or a mechanical grinder, but many lines can be underground and treatment causes significant downtime and cost.

Chemical cleaning is now a viable, cost effective option as it can remove and prevent struvite with minimal downtime and labor resources.

Aqua Hawk^® Struv EX has the highest purity in the industry when compared to competitive MSA products.

Aqua Hawk^® Struv EX offers significant benefits over conventional acids

• Removes lime scale faster than other typical acids  (e.g. phosphoric, sulfuric and formic)
• Removes calcium oxalate as well as other calcium deposits, such as gypsum
• Improves rust and grime removal
• Exhibits low viscosity and low toxicity
• Is non-oxidizing and non-reducing

Aqua Hawk^® Struv EX – This MSA surfactant blend increases overall performance in terms of faster cleaning time, at a lower dose level.

Additional benefits:

• Higher biodegradability
• Improved eco-toxicity
• Lower VOC and lower TOC (total
  organic carbon)
• Phosphate-free

Hydrogen Peroxide Wastewater Treatment
With environmental policies becoming more stringent with
the discharge of wastewater municipalities have to find new
ways to treat and reuse wastewater. Also, many
municipalities face high odor complaints from the public
due to wastewater treatment plants.  Hydrogen peroxide
is a clean oxidizing agent suitable for desulphiding and
deodorizing wastewater.
