Learn from BASF and industry expert Bob Mcilvaine at booth 2613 on topics ranging from trends in municipal waste water treatment to ultrafiltration

FLORHAM PARK, NJ, October 1, 2013 -BASF will be at WEFTEC 2013, the largest water quality exhibition of its kind in North America, from October 7-9 in Chicago, Illinois, to address its comprehensive range of innovative water solutions for municipal and industrial water treatment, including two new technologies.

BASF will feature its new cationic flocculant range Zetag® ULTRA, whichwill becommercially available in early 2014. The range hasproven its excellent performance in a variety of trials worldwide and pre-marketing quantities are available on request.BASF will also showcase its new T-Rack® 3.0 based on inge® ultrafiltration membrane technology for seawater desalination and wastewater reuse. In addition, BASF colleagues will deliver 15-minute presentations on these new products and other water management topics at booth 2613. Industry expert Bob Mcilvaine, President of the Mcilvaine Company will cover trends in municipal waste water treatment and reuse (schedule below).

"BASF is committed to providing sustainable and high-performing innovative solutions to address the world's rising water demands," said Linda Muroski, Business Director for BASF Water Solutions in North America. "Our unique product portfolio of water treatment products, investments in R&D and site infrastructure, implementation of the bio-acrylamide process and the collective expertise of our growing team is helping our customers meet their water management goals."

The new products BASF will introduce at WEFTEC align with customer needs for improved water treatment solutions, such as high performance flocculants and membrane technologies. The Zetag ULTRA cationic flocculant range offers strong floc integrity for high shear applications and can be used in highly variable sludge conditions. It is especially effective for plants that use centrifuge, flotation and gravity belt thickener processes and offers a significant dosing reduction compared to the market standard. As a result, operational cost savings and a reduction in biosolids transport and landfill disposal costs can be achieved.

The T-Rack 3.0 is a compact ultrafiltration solution to address the specific requirements of larger-scale filtration systems such as those used for the pretreatment in seawater desalination or wastewater reuse. It meets the key requirements of corrosion resistance, and high pressure operability at high temperatures and also supports greater treatment capacity. In addition, the T-Rack's plug and play installation can lower the amount of maintenance required and its modular design makes it is easy to add more modules to address changing capacity needs.
