Driven to improve chemical handling safety for customers, , a commercial unit of Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH), is introducing thechemical delivery system. The new system eliminates the hazards and concerns associated with transporting liquid chemicals within commercial, institutional and industrial facilities where workers or others must contend with potential exposure.
“Our customers are very excited about this innovative way to manage their water treatment program,” said Andrew Ledlie, manager, platform launch, Ashland Hercules Water Technologies. “We not only have improved the safety associated with liquid chemical water treatment programs, but by reducing the volume of chemical used by 50 to 90 percent, we have also reduced the energy use associated with the production and distribution of those chemicals. It’s a significant step toward a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for commercial water treatment.”
Ashland formulation scientists were able to transform the company’s PerforMax™ liquid water treatment chemistry into a solid form that is activated within the Ultra-Serv SOLID chemical delivery system. The new formulation coupled with the enclosed system improves safety, reduces chemical delivery costs, eliminates thousands of pounds of plastic from the waste stream, eliminates hundreds of hours of time associated with liquid chemical handling, and reduces fuel consumption and associated carbon emissions.
