Dutch IFAT exhibitors (in water technology) in alphabetical order:


AkzoNobel Water Treatment Chemicals
AkzoNobel Water Treatment Chemicals supplies metal salts, known as Quadroflcos and Sanic-Fe to purify water. The metal salts react with water forming a precipitate of hydroxides, called flocks, which absorb impurities and chemically bind for example phosphorus. After coagulation of the impurities they are easy to remove by gravity.
