Potable Water Treatment is the removal of various contaminants, including dirt, microorganisms, and organic acids from water to make it suitable for consumption. Summit’s Sumalchlor Series, Sumaclear 800 Series, and Sumaclear 700 Series are particularly useful as coagulants in potable water treatment.
Industrial Influent Treatment
Industrial Influent Treatment is the removal of various contaminants - including dirt, microorganisms, and organic acids – from water to make it suitable for use in production or to reduce the load on further purification systems (e.g., reverse osmosis, deionization, distillation, etc.). Summit’s Sumalchlor Series, Sumaclear 800 Series, and Sumaclear 700 Series are particularly useful as coagulants in industrial influent treatment.
Municipal Waste Treatment
Municipal Waste Treatment refers to the removal of various contaminants from wastewater and household sewage by physical, chemical, and biological means. Coagulants such as the Sumalchlor Series, Sumaclear 700 Series, and Sumaclear 800 Series are used successfully in primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment to aid in solids separation, sludge concentration, and phosphate control. For tertiary treatment (effluent polishing), the Sumaclear 900 Series is particularly useful in treating phosphorous levels, which helps to reduce algae bloom in waters receiving effluent from municipal waste treatment facilities.
Industrial Effluent Treatment
Industrial Effluent Treatment is the removal of various contaminants from wastewater before discharge to a municipal waste system or to the environment. Many industries – including agriculture, steel, mines and quarries, food processing, nuclear, refineries, pulp and paper, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and other – generate wastewater or runoff that must be pretreated before discharge into a municipal waste system or the environment. The Summit product line offers a solution for each of these challenges, including proven results for the Sumaclear 800 Series for color removal in the pulp and paper industry as well as the textile/laundry industry. In addition, the Sumaclear 900 Series is widely used in a variety of industries for oil/grease separation.
Pulp & Paper Chemicals
Pulp & Paper Applications such as anionic trash control, drainage and retention, and stickies control are critical to paper mills for quality and profitability. Summit’s Sumafix 600 Series is chemically engineered to provide optimum performance in these applications as well as coatings applications. The Sumafix 600 Series contains products that are approved for use in food contact paper under FDA CFR 21 182.90, 176.170, and 176.180.
Adhesives & Crosslinkers
Adhesives/Crosslinkers are important in a variety of applications including the preparation of adhesive formulations. Summit’s Sumalchlor Series and Sumaclear 700 Series provide ideal polyinorganics for use as crosslinkers
Catalysts
Catalysts involve using soluble forms of aluminum to prepare catalyst supports. The molecular characteristics of these soluble aluminum species impact the precipitation and gel formation characteristics, ultimately impacting the final support characteristics. Our Sumalchlor Series, Sumaclear 700 Series, and Sumaclear 1000 Series display unique qualities in catalyst applications.
Refractories
Refractories require the preparation of aluminum oxide and aluminum mixed metal oxides, utilizing soluble forms of aluminum for precipitation and gel formation to produce desired refractory structure. Summit’s Sumalchlor Series, Sumaclear 700 Series, and Sumaclear 1000 Series display unique qualities in refractory preparation applications.
