Water is a vital resource for life and for industry. On the occasion of World Water Day, we want to reaffirm our commitment to the responsible and sustainable use of this precious resource.
We have transferred the production of Sodium Hydrosulfite (SHS) to our plant in San Martino di Trecate (NO), where we have developed and patented an innovative production process that, unlike traditional methods, significantly reduces water consumption and eliminates wastewater discharge.
Compared to the more common Mitsubishi process, our technology allows for the separation and production of Pentahydrate Sodium Thiosulfate (NTS Penta) by introducing an advanced system for recovering mother liquors. These are then purified and reused within the production cycle, leading to a substantial reduction in water usage, lower environmental impact, and improved production efficiency.
Our strong focus on water resources also extends to ongoing research and development projects in collaboration with several university institutions, with highly promising potential for water savings. We are convinced that a more sustainable industry must be built through innovation and responsibility.
