The challenges posed in treating industrial process and wastewater streams are as varied as the industries themselves. Steel mills, food processing, paper mills, refineries, chemical manufacturing, etc.: each industrial site tends to produce a waste stream unique in its' mix of contaminants. These can include suspended solids, color, phosphorus, heavy metals, emulsified grease and oils, chemical oxygen demand (COD) & biological oxygen demand (BOD). Some of these effluent streams require only pre-treatment before being sent to local municipal wastewater facilities. Others must be treated to a level that will allow them to be discharged to nearby lakes or rivers.

GEO provides a complete spectrum of aluminum-based coagulants to address these diverse applications. From our core products of alum and aluminum chloride, through polyaluminum chlorides (PAC's) that cover every basicity range, to enhancements of these products with inorganic additives and organic polymers (polyelectrolytes), GEO offers one of the widest product lines in the industry. And the line is continually growing, as we develop custom formulations for our customers' needs. This allows us to find the optimal treatment program for the industrial customer, combining chemical performance and equipment optimization for maximum cost effectiveness.

GEO also has the expertise to accurately model each individual industrial treatment system, so our products can be screened effectively in bench-top jar tests. This allows us to zero in on the right product for the application, or "build" the right product as we test. It also insures that the product will perform as well in your plant as it does in the lab.
