Good belt press dewatering starts before the sludge reaches the belt. SimpleFloc creates large, durable flocs that drain quickly through the gravity zone and stay intact as pressure increases through the press.
The best belt press chemistry releases free water early. Strong, drainable floc improves gravity drainage before the sludge enters the higher-pressure zones, reducing the amount of work the press has to do later.

A poultry processor in Northern California struggled to staff make-down operations which, when combined with an unreliable chemical supply chain, led to wastewater that regularly breached permissible levels of suspended solids.
Read-->NanoNet helps create the combination belt presses need: large foc for rapid drainage and sufficient strength to withstand progressive compression.
That can improve both the front end of the process, where free water drains away, and the pressure zones where mechanical dewatering takes over.
Hear from people who use our chemistry.
“We cut suspended solids by 18% and polymer by 90%, then cut out make-down, which also saved our crew hours a week not messing with dosing.“
Randy Khalil, Dewatering & Water Treatment SME
“Within two hours of introducing CarboNet’s solution into the system, not only did the tanks start to clean up, with contaminants breaking loose from the walls, we were suddenly seeing stronger floc and our volumes went up to 85,000 barrels of water a day.“
Dave Williams, O&G Operator
“It’s the most technologically innovative water treatment application I have laid eyes on this decade. It has been excellent in helping us operate within spec, and in simplifying our overall process. It’s the difference between a system that just meets regulations and one that’s set up to accelerate and scale.”
