Advantages of Solid Chemical Water Treatment
Solid water treatment products by CRB Water use state of the art, proven chemical combinations which are manufactured into a solid paste concentrate.
The products are transported in a low carbon footprint profile and applied easily at your site with a patented dissolving system. You receive all of the benefits of a well-run chemical program, without the hassles of dealing with liquids.
CRB Water’s solid water treatment products help your facility to be more Sustainable and Safe – while addressing your TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE.
Help Reduce Risk and Liability Concerns
No heavy drums to move:
- Reduces potential for injury to employees and others.
- Moving heavy drums can result in injury, leading to costly Worker Compensation Claims.
- Reduces risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals (ie: corrosives, oxidizers and pesticides) to your employees and customers.
- One case of solid chemistry weighs 44 lbs and contains the same amount of active chemicals as a 55-gallon, 500 lb drum.
Eliminate spill potentials:
- Spills can occur anywhere – in transit, or at your facility.
- Many liquid chemicals can be hazardous, damaging to the environment, and a potential for expensive litigation.
- Solid chemistry has no potential to leak.
No on-site storage or drum disposal issues:
- Liquid chemicals are bulky and must be stored in containment areas according to their hazardous classification.
- Many facilities do not have extra space and must resort to storing all chemicals in one containment area.
- The potential for chemical reactions of different liquid chemicals can produce a very undesirable result.
- No triple rinsing of empty drums before disposal.
- Five cases of CRB Water solid chemistry can sit in the same storage footprint as a 55-gallon drum.
Help Your Facility Go Green
Economic Benefits of having a well-run CRB Water solid water treatment program include the following:
- The cost of transporting solids is approximately 1-2% of the chemical costs, versus 15-20% of the chemical costs for liquids.
- Approximately 15-20% of your chemical budget is used to ship mostly water when using liquids.
- In addition to the substantially higher costs of transportation of liquids, there is also a “hidden cost” for using drums. One case study put a time, then a dollar value to this hidden cost, and calculated an additional cost of over $140 for each drum. Some would argue higher
- Solid chemistry can help you save water, sewer, and chemical dollars by reusing the water, its maximum number of times.
- One case study concluded that increasing the number of times water can be reused in a cooling tower from 4 to 6 cycles, would have the effect of reducing water make-up demand by over 408,000,000 gallons annually in just the Commercial and Institutional markets.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
- Liquid chemicals are very heavy and consume a great deal of energy to transport.
- Most liquid products require adding caustic to the mixture to remain in solution.
- Solid concentrate products do not require the addition of hazardous caustic.
- A 55 Gallon drum, weighing 500 pounds, will consume 2.5 more gallons of diesel fuel per typical shipment than a 50 pound carton of CRB Water solid chemistry having the same amount of active ingredients.
