Nalco Water, an Ecolab company, is a global leader in industrial water management and offers polymer technologies and solutions for diverse applications, including wastewater treatment, petrochemical processing, and polymer manufacturing. The company specializes in improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing sustainability in various industrial processes.
The Challenge
Nalco was looking for:
- Drying expertise and advanced drying technology to address specific challenges with polymers.
- A complete solution with regard to product- and particle engineering, scale-up demonstrations, and capacity for full-scale production.
APD in Action
APD led a full-scale product innovation and development project with leading scientists from Nalco. Our patented spray drying technology enabled a controlled powder product development environment — from lab-scale evaluation to initial dryer trials for multiple polymers. APD’s expertise in particle and powder engineering, combined with our industrial spray drying solutions helped with full-scale production.
Our Impact
APD’s spray drying expertise helped Nalco develop drying and process parameters as well as design neutralization processes, a critical step in polymer manufacturing, for three different polymer products. Our range of spray drying services helped scale up the processes successfully to the production level.
