CarboNet
A breakthrough chemical platform solving water treatment at scale
How does it work?
CarboNet is a specialty chemicals company that works with the world’s leading industrial brands to clean and recycle their wastewater. Using unconventional chemistry, we move industries-–and our planet—towards a cleaner, brighter future.
CarboNet™ chemicals use nano technology to develop formulas that are able to remove contaminants from water, like never before. Our novel approach utilizing drug delivery polymers in a unique formulation maximizes the level of targeting and control. Unlike conventional water treatment chemicals like detergents and heavy oxidants, CarboNet™ water treatment technology can go after tiny particles, separating contaminants out into an easy-to-remove clumped mass, known as a floc.
Why is it needed?
To accelerate the worlds transition to recycled water. Radical and unabashedly transformative, CarboNet will change the way you think about industrial wastewater treatment.
How does it improve life?
The NanoNet™ platform and its suite of products offer industries the simplicity and performance to make water treatment more efficient and cost effective. These business drivers, including greater throughput (volumes of water treated), lower wastewater disposal costs, and reductions in specialized labor, combine with unmatched water clarification and system optimization to enable—and incentivize—companies to recycle more.
