What our diverse team says
Our Capabilities
The KETC is independent of external laboratories, which leads to increased flexibility. We are dedicated to Research & Development with our state-of-the-art infrastructure.
Fast and precise processing of routine analytics. > 10k samples/year are processed. The focus is primarily on the analysis of inorganic and sensory parameters.
The synthesis lab designs & develops customized products for all water treatment purposes by finding suitable chemicals for the task at hand and developing effective solutions until they are ready for production.
Development of new polymers that can be used in cooling water, boiler water, drinking water, geothermal and desalination applications.
The special analytics lab focuses on the clarification of unknown chemical structures, the characterization of polymers, and the determination of organic components.
The screening laboratory performs preliminary performance tests for various applications. Screening of existing and new raw materials is also performed.
The application lab tests performances and deliver new formulations. We start with simple proof of concept trials and build up to more complex trial series.
Product development of new solutions for water treatment applications in boiler, cooling, drinking, wastewater membrane, process & paper chemical applications.
Quality control - Our vast database allows us to track and compare product performances over time.
