Save some room for dessert.

Clean chemistry for messy business.

Food & Beverage is a tough category. You’re not just treating water, you’re managing margins, permits, and product integrity. Your wastewater changes daily. Staff rotate. Specs shift. And compliance...well, you have no choice but to comply.

Why it matters: Wastewater doesn’t pay the bills—production does. But when your chemical program can’t handle swings in pH, load, or flow, everything downstream slows down. You’re suddenly overbudget on hauling, overfed on polymer, and out of spec on solids. That’s how fines stack up and margins shrink.

CarboNet’s chemistry improves performance where it counts:

• Lower cost to treat. CarboNet flocculants reduce PAM use by up to 90%, cutting chemical costs while staying in spec through washdowns, batch shifts, and foamy inputs. Most plants see up to 50% lower cost per gallon treated.
• Fewer hands, fewer hours. SimpleFloc formats simplify make-down, reduce setup time, and streamline cleanup—shaving labor by as much as 35%.
• Faster floc, less sludge. NanoNet-enhanced flocculants create tighter, quicker-settling flocs that drain well, cutting sludge weight, haul-outs, and press time.
• Fits your footprint. Gels ship pre-activated. Emulsions install easily on staffed systems. Both formats avoid tote farms and bulky prep rigs, ideal for tight plants, rotating crews, or weekend coverage.
• Extends equipment life. Smoother floc formation means less fouling, fewer backflushes, and lower wear on presses, filters, and pumps.
• Keeps coagulants in line. CarboNet’s SimplePrime coagulants stabilize load and pH without overshooting, supporting floc performance without triggering downstream surprises.
• Built for plant teams and contractors. Whether you run the system or outsource it, CarboNet simplifies operation and shortens the distance between problem and fix.
• Backed by SpecialOps. Central dashboards track performance, catch problems early, and make sure dosing, KPIs, and compliance stay aligned, even across multi-line or seasonal sites.


Behind the scenes: All of our flocculants are built on the NanoNet platform, a molecular design engine that targets performance bottlenecks like inconsistent floc size, poor dewatering, and excess PAM use.

SpecialOps: Distributed operations? Tight sites? Mobile plants? SpecialOps unifies your systems with automated pumps and remote dashboards that simplify dosing, catch issues early, and help regional teams track compliance, costs, and chemical usage from one screen.

Facts about fines: Operators in this space can spend six to seven figures a year on fines related to solids, overflows, or permit violations. Most of those costs don’t come from negligence; just bad chemistry and unpredictable wastewater.

The bottom line: Food & Beverage producers can’t afford unreliable treatment. CarboNet programs deliver the consistency, control, and clarity you need to keep production running, costs contained, and permits intact—without overbuilding or overspending.

“We cut suspended solids by 18% and polymer by 90%, then cut out make-down, which saved our crew hours a week not messing with dosing.”
