Revolutionizing Industrial Pre-Treatment: Fuel Tech’s On-Demand Carbonic Acid Generation
Fuel Tech's On-Demand Carbonic Acid Generation (DGI) technology revolutionizes pH control in industrial water treatment by enabling the efficient dissolution of CO₂ into water, creating carbonic acid directly onsite. Unlike traditional strong acids such as sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, which require extensive safety precautions and expensive handling infrastructure, Fuel Tech’s DGI technology offers a safer, more controlled alternative. The carbonic acid produced through this method provides a moderate and precise means of adjusting pH, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, from municipal water treatment to complex manufacturing processes.
