We’re the only 100% domestic manufacturer of chitin and chitosan in the USA.
Chitosan is a safe, non-hazmat, biodegradable, and market-proven industrial coagulant. When formulated with precision for water treatment, chitosan can effectively displace metal-based coagulants. It also offers cost savings and fewer health risks for handlers.
Chitosan is non-corrosive and highly filterable, allowing longer life cycles for both metal components and
filters. It does not alter pH to the degree that metal coagulants can, is complementary with
anaerobic bioreactors and resistant to mechanical shear. Using chitosan
results in sludge that is lower in toxicity, volume, and moisture. This reduces the cost of disposal and enables the recirculation of valuable materials.
Chitosan use has seen notable results within the industrial wastewater, municipal sewage,
potable water, mining, latex, textile, and food & beverage industries. As regulation
promoting eco-friendly initiatives grows, chitosan is now situated as a
high-performance, cost-effective, sustainable solution ideal for displacing antiquated and
dangerous water treatment chemistries worldwide.
