What is ProChem?
ProChem, Inc. operates as a specialized provider of industrial water solutions, focusing on the critical intersection of power generation and environmental stewardship. The company utilizes advanced treatment methodologies, including selective ion-exchange (SIX), physical/chemical processes, and membrane filtration, to assist the power industry in meeting complex effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs).
Central to its value proposition is the I-PRO water reuse system, a modular and flexible technology designed to convert wastewater into high-quality process water. By effectively targeting contaminants such as Selenium, Arsenic, Mercury, and Boron, ProChem provides end-of-pipe solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure. This approach minimizes the physical footprint of treatment facilities while maintaining a low capital cost profile, establishing the firm as a key partner for utilities aiming to optimize water usage and ensure regulatory compliance.
