Peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide can help contribute to water conservation and reduce wastewater disposal costs when used properly as a disinfectant. Products containing peracetic acid offer an alternative to common chlorine-based disinfectants such as sodium hypochlorite. Evonik’s peracetic acid formulations are effective against a wide range of harmful aquatic organisms, including those that cause problems in industrial processes.
At the core of Evonik’s water treatment innovations are VISIOMER® methacrylate monomers, which serve as essential components in the formulation of high-performance polyelectrolytes used in flocculation and sludge dewatering. As global water management challenges intensify due to urbanization and limited freshwater availability, VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylate monomers offer the molecular precision needed to develop polymers with tailored performance characteristics.
Among these, VISIOMER® MAPTAC and VISIOMER® TMAEMC are quaternized methacrylate monomers that enable the synthesis of water-soluble, shear-stable polymers with adjustable cationic charge density. These advanced polymer flocculants outperform conventional inorganic coagulants by operating effectively across a broad pH range, accelerating sedimentation, and significantly reducing sludge volumes. Their excellent hydrolytic stability and polymerization flexibility make them ideal for integration into advanced water purification and reuse systems.
By leveraging Evonik’s deep expertise in polymer chemistry, formulators and plant operators can optimize treatment performance, reduce operational costs, and contribute to long-term water sustainability through efficient and reliable water recycling technologies.
