Flocculants
MaxiFlox® recover more water and lifts thickener performance, boosting dewatering yield and cuts waste for disposal.

Water treatment plants and process chemistry for construction and infrastructure projects, including dewatering, recycling and PFAS remediation on site.
Major infrastructure and tunnelling projects generate high volumes of challenging slurry streams requiring rapid clarification and compliant discharge. Our chemistry programs support slurry separation systems, filter presses, and sedimentation plants operating under tight project timelines.
Applications
Operational Outcomes
Our field teams provide on-site commissioning, jar testing, and real-time program adjustment to maintain consistent performance as ground conditions vary.
Water stewardship and regulatory compliance are critical across municipal and industrial operations. We provide high-performance coagulants and flocculants for clarification, sludge thickening, and dewatering processes – supporting continuous treatment performance in highly regulated environments.
Our team supports wastewater treatment facilities across metropolitan New South Wales, including operations servicing Sydney Water infrastructure. These facilities operate under strict environmental discharge requirements and require consistent, stable chemistry performance to protect receiving waterways.
