Water & Oil Technologies, Inc. offers consulting services tailored to the specific treatment needs of a project for water, waste water and waste treatment. They develop treatment sequences for dewatering, or thickening of biomass after flocculation with polymers for by-product use of the dewatered biomass, or scale removal from your piping system.
Water & Oil Technologies, inc. has a patented feedstock process that incorporates the use of dewatered biomass, that when blended with coal, create a feedstock to be used as a fuel, especially in the production of ethanol.
They have provided successful consulting and polymer/chemical treatment sequences since 1988. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your specific water or wastewater treatment need.

Natural vs. Synthetic Flocculents

Posted: 25 Oct 2010 06:36 PM PDT

Synthetic polymers used in water/wastewater treatment, and in some instances algae flocculation, are made from monomers obtained from the fractional distillation of oilfield hydrocarbons at oil refineries. The problem with these monomers…

Water & Oil Technologies- Ed Laurent

Ed Laurent is president of Water & Oil Technologies, Inc. Water & Oil Technologies, Inc. is a small corporation located in Montgomery, Illinois, incorporated in 1988, and currently serves many municipal and industrial clients with polymers or other chemical treatment products.

Water & Oil Technologies, Inc. manufactures, blends, and distributes both synthetic, and natural polymer products that are cationic, anionic, or nonionic in power, emulsion, or water soluble liquid form. Additionally, we have chemical formulas for the removal and prevention of struvite or vivianite scales.

In our consulting service we tailor treatment sequences of our products to provide the most cost effective treatment to meet your specific treatment need be it dewatering, or thickening of biomass after flocculation with polymers for by-product use of the dewatered biomass, or scale removal from your piping system.

Water & Oil Technologies, inc. has a patented feedstock that incorporates the use of dewatered biomass, that when blended with coal, create a feedstock to be used as a fuel, especially in the production of ethanol.

Water & Oil Technologies, Inc.

By-product recovery and utilization has been one of the major areas in which Water & Oil Technologies, Inc. has assisted customers to achieve successful liquid/solid separation of their particular process wastestream.

With ever increasing environmental discharge regulations confronting us all, we at Water & Oil Technologies, Inc. have found alternatives to land application and on-site composting of sludges. Natural Flocculents can be successfully used with or without pH adjustment to achieve solids recovery from process waste, thus producing an environmentally cleaner supernatant or subnatant discharge.

Our Natural Flocculents are currently sold to poultry, hog, cattle, cheese, dairy, food, grain, and oil processors for the flocculation of solids for recovery of fats, oils, grease, minerals, and/or proteins. By utilizing our AAFCO and FDA approved Natural Flocculents, the recovered fats, oils, grease, minerals, and/or proteins can be sold for animal feed ingredients, fertilizer or used in fuel components.

Recovery Benefits of Natural Flocculents

  • FDA and AAFCO approved for use in animal and poultry feeds, whereas acrylamides and polycrylamides (synthetic polymers made from monomers) are not.
  • Can usually be used without the aid of acid or caustic to achieve flocculation of solids from process waste.
  • Compatible with acids or caustic if so desired to be used to obtain liquid/solid separation.
  • Can be used alone or in conjunction with coagulants to recover solids containing fats, oil, grease, minerals and/or proteins.
  • Can be used to treat solids containing phosphates and nitrates.
  • Totally biodegradable which make their use environmentally acceptable.
