AQUA+TECH

Situated in La Plaine, a village near Geneva, Switzerland(Location Map), AQUA+TECH Specialties S.A. was incorporated in November 1997 with the intent to develop, produce and sell materials for application in water treatment. More specifically, polymeric flocculants (a polymer is a “molecule of many parts” with the most typical example being plastics) are used to separate solid-based impurities from aqueous suspensions such as are contacted in municipal sewage as well as chemical processes a... nd mining. Product development has proceeded rapidly with five key patents filed on inverse-emulsions as well as structured powders and others issued (US Patent 6,294,622). A pilot plant is fully functional and permits industrial scale trials for several weeks with investment returns permitting rapid installation and scale-up. AQUA+TECH’S facilities include a production capacity of 3,000 tons per year as well as a 100 kg rapid prototyping facility suitable for the preparation of customized batches for clients. Research and Development includes projects on new ionic monomers as well as novel dispersants for heterophase polymerizations.More
