Civil and industrial water treatment
Chimitex produces and markets specific formulations for water treatment and depuration.
Chimitex has set up a specific division dedicated to water treatment. Our expert team is able to design specific formulations for any civil and industrial depuration or purification need, for the protection of the water resources of the territory.
Ferric Chloride stands out amongst our flagship products. Our high quality Ferric Chloride is entirely produced in our plant.

Coagulants and flocculants are used in the treatment of waste waters in order to facilitate or enable the precipitation of the suspended matter. Coagulants enable the separation and precipitation of the colloids suspended in the water; if this process takes too long, flocculants (or coagulation adjuvants) destabilize furtherly the colloidal particles and promote the agglomeration, so that the precipitation process is facilitated.
Antifoam agents: silicone-, non silicone-, oil based
Antifoam agents are used to remove the foams generated in the waters used in the industrial processes, because of the saturation of degreasers and detergents. The antifoam agent destabilizes the slats which cover the gas bubbles, enabling the following aggregation and removal.
pH Regulators: Caustic Soda – Hydrochloric acid – Sulfuric acid
The aim of pH regulators is to keep the acidity of water at a level which does not allow the proliferation of microorganisms, so that the clearness is maintained.
Activated Carbons: powder and granular
Activated carbons can be used both for the treatment of drinking water and the depuration of industrial process and waste waters. Activated carbons can remove smells and tastes and retain chemicals, hydrocarbon and surfactants, since they absorb all the chemicals suspended in water.
Oxidizers: Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Permanganate
Oxiders remove the metallic elements and organic substances suspended in the water.
Nutrients
Nutrients are chemical additives for waste waters, which allow the proliferation of the bacteria
which feed off contaminants.
