No-fuss chemistry for personal care wastewater.

No fuss for all your muss.

Personal care products are designed to repel water, leading to hydrophobic wastewater that’s fugly and tough to treat.

Why it matters: This wastewater is weird. It’s full of foaming agents, thickeners, silicones, waxes, and oils that don’t like to break apart—especially when pH, flow, and load all shift at once. It’s not just about separation. It’s about control.

• Misdiagnose: Personal care plants rarely staff water experts. Make-down and dosing fall to shift crews—leading to frequent misdiagnosis, gummed-up systems, and costly NPT or HS&E issues.
• Overdose: Hydrophobic wastewater and weak flocs often push staff to overdose. In permit-limited systems, that leads to fines, regulatory breaches, or even shutdowns.

CarboNet’s chemistry resolves these issues:

• SimpleFloc gels work without make-down and hold up under high surfactant and oil content—perfect for small or remote treatment setups.
• Emulsions offer low-dose, high-performance alternatives for staffed or built-out systems, especially where higher throughput or automation is in play.
• SimplePrime coagulants improve clarification, reduce TSS and COD, and help flocculants hit performance targets more consistently.
• Dosage tolerance of ±20% means fewer pump tweaks and more stable operation—critical when influent swings between rinse-off and makeup remover.
• Cuts polymer use, reduces sludge volume, and improves dewatering across centrifuge, belt press, or DAF setups.

Need a fix on the fly?: SpecialOps can step in with chemistry, equipment, and support to stabilize underperforming systems, reduce discharge risk, or help sites transition from legacy programs.

The bottom line: The stuff that makes your products work is the same stuff that makes wastewater awful. CarboNet chemistry handles the mess—without extra gear, extra labor, or extra excuses.
