For eight decades we have been combining our expertise in water and energy to help our customers
efficiently use both resources, saving them money while improving the environment. That commitment to developing and implementing
innovative solutions that are financially, technically and environmentally sustainable can be found in boiler and cooling systems,
oil and gas production, pulp and papermaking, and almost any industrial plant or large building.
Helping boilers run more efficiently as they absorb heat energy and transfer it to water to make
steam doesn’t just save our customers money. We also help the environment by reducing fuel use and the resulting air emissions.
Our NexGuard®
boiler water technology, used at more than 6,500 customer locations, avoids the production of nearly 4.4 million metric
tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year.
Billions of gallons of water are used every day in cooling systems worldwide. 3D TRASAR®; technology
brings together our best cooling water treatments with monitoring and control equipment to manage scale, corrosion and microbiological
treatments at the same time, minimizing chemical and water usage. We estimate that 3D TRASAR technology saves 21.4 billion gallons of water
a year in the United States and Canada alone. Even greater water savings are expected as we further penetrate markets and expand into
new geographies with this unique technology.
Our PARETO™ wet-end optimization technology allows papermakers to replace cold freshwater chemical
dilution on their paper machines with already-heated process water, reducing both freshwater demand and the energy to heat the water.
We estimate using PARETO technology will save the first customers using this new technology a combined total of more than 330 million
gallons of fresh water and 163 billion BTUs of energy per year.
With the formation of Nalco Mobotec, we are taking the lead in delivering multi-pollutant control that maximizes the efficiency of current
assets and offers practical strategies for effective control of nitrogen and sulfur oxides (NOx,/SOx), greenhouse gases, particulates (PM) and mercury. Instead of major capital equipment, we provide a more finessed approach
to controlling pollutants at the point of creation through better management of the combustion process.
The comprehensive programs offered by Nalco Mobotec expand our focus on energy and water resource management and are part of our growing portfolio
of technologies that contribute to sustainable development. This will help customers further improve their environmental performance through better natural resource management and emission control. The
focus on both energy and water will minimize the demand for non-renewable fuels while conserving water resources. The new pollutant control technologies will also help to protect the environment by reducing emissions to air.
