Enhanced Recreational and Property Value

By curbing algal blooms and improving clarity, these treatments restore aesthetic and recreational value — increasing properties values by as much as 25%.

Improved Water Clarity

Reduction of algae density improves water clarity.

Fewer Toxins, Safer water

Reducing harmful algal blooms reduces the formation of algal toxins, providing safer conditions for swimming, boating, pets, and downstream drinking water treatment.

Reduce Phosphorus Levels

Our phosphorus-removal treatments reduce excess nutrients that drive algae growth while minimizing disruption to water chemistry, allowing effective control with less overall product and fewer follow-up adjustments.

Improved Ecological Balance

Lower nutrient levels and fewer toxic algal blooms support more stable aquatic ecosystems by improving oxygen balance, supporting healthier fish populations, and helping restore natural biodiversity and ecosystem function.

Reduce Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)

By reducing available nutrients, our solutions limit the ability of harmful algae and cyanobacteria to rapidly multiply and grow densely, lowering the risk of nuisance blooms.

Improved Facility Hygene

Our solutions treat, remove, and prevent harmful conditions that endanger the health and safety of animals and people.

Lower Operational Costs

Greater control improves bird health and empowers plant managers to reduce operational inefficiencies without impacting output.

Reduced Disease Transmission

Chemical treatment of litter reduces ammonia-producing organisms and bacteria like E. Coli, Salmonella, and Clostridia.

Enhance Nutrient Value for Fertilizer

Treated litter retains nitrogen and phosphorus, increasing its value as a crop fertilizer while reducing nutrient runoff that can cause water pollution.

Improved Animal Well-being

Usalco solutions control ammonia levels, improving animal health, weight gain, and feed conversion while reducing overall mortality rates.

Maximize Treatment Capacity

Our solutions can be optimized for a range of food and beverage applications, supporting higher output at the lowest total treatment cost.

Reduced Sludge and Waste

Performance-blended coagulants produce less sludge than traditional coagulants, reducing handling and disposal costs.

Lower Operational Costs

Greater accuracy and effectiveness empower plant managers to reduce operational inefficiencies without impacting output.

Reduced Sludge and Waste

Our high-efficiency coagulants lower the amount of active metal needed to meet phosphorus limits, while their optimized sludge profile simplifies handling and improves process performance.

Reduced Environmental Impact

Usalco products help producers meet regulatory discharge limits with fewer chemicals and lower dosages.

Improve Microplastic Removal

The UltraPHOSx coagulant protfolio outperforms traditional coagulants in the removal of small microplastics, especially those in the 1–10 μm range.

Improved Chemical Process Efficiency

Usalco's advanced coagulants combine cutting-edge chemistry with proven precipitation technology to meet phosphorus limits.

Achieve Phosphorus Compliance

Innovative products like UltraPHOSx help operator’s meet stringent phosphorus limits.

Predictive Performance

Usalco’s Virtual Jar® and digital twins help utilities model and optimize coagulant dosing in real time, ensuring consistent DOC removal even as source water quality changes.

Improved DOC Removal

Usalco focuses on removing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and turbidity — key factors for regulatory compliance and filter performance.

Superior Microplastic Removal

Advanced coagulant blends outperform traditional coagulants in the removal of small microplastics, especially those in the 1–10 μm range.

Reduced Sludge and Waste

Due to the DelPAC coagulant's efficiency, less active metal is required to meet water quality goals, resulting in less sludge contribution and lower handling costs.

Lower DBPs

Our high-performance coagulants are excellent at removing dissolved organic carbon (DOC), the primary precursor of DBP formation during chlorine disinfection.

PFAS Reduction Support

GAC, ion exchange, and membrane pretreatment with Usalco coagulants reduce turbidity and organic load, boosting PFAS removal efficiency and extending media life.
