Ludwigshafen, Germany – September 29, 2016 – At the Water, Energy Technology And Environment Exhibition (WETEX) 2016, one of the leading water industry events, BASF presents its expertise in water treatment chemicals on October 4-6, 2016 at the Dubai International Exhibition Center in hall 8, booth # CV-12.
In line with the WETEX 2016 theme “At the Forefront of Sustainability”, BASF is showcasing its well established range of customer-centric and environmentally-beneficial solutions for the water industry to enhance the dewatering performance of waste water treatment plants, maintain the high level of productivity of desalination plants and protect these high-investment facilities from scale formation and fouling.
BASF is continuously investing in new solutions for water treatment chemistry and highlights its latest product developments at WETEX 2016:
Sokalan® AF-X – New water soluble and readily biodegradable antifoam for thermal desalination processes providing excellent foam control properties at low dosage rates.
Sokalan® RO 3500 – New multifunctional antiscalant for reverse osmosis membrane treatment with proven performance on various scales, different feed water compositions and especially designed for water re-use applications. Compared to phosphonate-based antiscalants Sokalan® RO 3500 is not causing eutrophication to water bodies.
Zetag® ULTRA – Latest product line of cationic ultra-high molecular weight powder flocculants for superior sludge dewatering performance at lower dosage rates.
inge® – Highly efficient Ultrafiltration (UF) technology with resilient Multibore® membranes and space-saving T-Rack® solutions for a wide range of applications in any kind of water – now also available for horizontal UF membrane replacement projects.
