Refining: High Purity, Low Environmental Impact

In the refining sector, our clean chemical solutions redefine standards by:

  • Achieving Unprecedented Purity Levels: Elevate your product quality with refined materials reaching new levels of purity.

  • Sustainability in Focus: Sustainable refining practices that prioritize environmental responsibility, ensuring a responsible supply chain.

Recycling: Closing the Loop Responsibly

In the era of circular economies, our clean chemical solutions pave the way for sustainable recycling by:

  • Maximizing Resource Reclamation: Extract valuable materials from recyclables efficiently, reducing the need for virgin resources.

  • Reducing Waste: Minimize landfill contributions through effective recycling processes, supporting a circular and waste-free ecosystem.

Wastewater Treatment: A Greener Approach

Clean chemical solutions play a pivotal role in wastewater treatment, emphasizing:

  • Efficient Contaminant Removal: Our advanced solutions ensure the effective removal of contaminants, promoting water quality.

Energy Efficiency: Harness the power of clean chemical technologies to optimize wastewater treatment processes, reducing energy consumption.

Environmental Impact Assessment

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond promises, with tangible impacts such as:

  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: Nano Beads solutions contribute to lower energy requirements, subsequently reducing overall carbon emissions.

  • Preservation of Ecosystems: Minimizing the environmental impact of extraction and refining activities ensures the preservation of biodiversity.

Comparison to Legacy Media

Nano Beads vs Ion Exchange

An Ion exchange (IX) solution generates a large amount of waste and uses significant amounts of water for regeneration. In some cases IX resins cannot be regenerated at all and must be burned for disposal.

IX exchanges one element for another. With Nano Beads adsorption, there is no exchange. The beads capture only the ion of interest.

There is no regeneration step required for Nano Beads versus IX. Instead a rinse solution releases the filter beads when full which typically takes less than <5 minutes. The beads are then ready to begin adsorption again. Also the rinse solution is used over and over, concentrating the removed element/s.

Typically no pretreatment is required and there is also no clogging concerns for up to 12% solids at 75 microns in size with Nano Beads versus IX.

Nano Beads vs Carbon

Carbon must be burned to recover the elements adsorbed. Nano Beads use a chemical process that is reused to the point of solubility. This means not only is the filter material reusable for thousands of cycles and we eliminate the “burn” but also the Nano Beads process is concentrating the elements, eliminating additional process steps required when using carbon.

Nano Beads vs Membranes

Replacing a membrane system with Precision Periodic’s Nano Beads filtration eliminates 99% of the power requirements. There is no pressure required which is not only power intensive but also a health and safety issue for workers as membrane systems pressure requirements are in the 16+ BAR range which is 232 pounds per square inch. You don’t want to be around that when it blows which can happen when something clogs up which membranes do and have to be regularly cleared.

In addition, process steps can be eliminated further saving power, time and real estate requirements. Nano Beads can process up to 12% solids at 75 microns in size without fouling. So pre-treatment steps that are needed for membrane systems can be eliminated.

Nano Beads are Recycled

The beads are a porous, hard ceramic-like surface that has active ingredient applied to it using nano-technology processes. The beads will last approximately 6,000 cycles before needed to be refurbished. Precision Periodic collects the used beads and refurbishes them for reuse eliminating any and all waste.
