Gallons of Water and Counting
WITH NO DISCHARGE VIOLATIONS
Excessive sediment and pollutants introduced into
critical water bodies can cover natural habitats
and result in reduced oxygen concentrations and
increased water temperatures, jeopardizing the overall
health of the environment. This damage can have
a severe detrimental economic and environmental
impact on industries and communities.
HaloKlear has successfully treated over
3,000,000,000 gallons of water without a
single discharge violation – and that number
is growing every day. We believe in protecting
the environment, naturally. Our natural flocculants
clean dirty water and allow clean water to be
released, reused or upcycled.
A Clear Advantage For Your Operation
We’ll help you choose from a portfolio of HaloKlear natural flocculants—from 100% biodegradable natural
flocculants to hybrid flocculants—all of which offer a greener alternative to commodity chemicals.
Effective alone or paired with other chemistries
Appropriate for active, semi-passive and passive applications
Use with existing equipment or as part of a customized solution
Ensure regulatory compliance with on-site residual testing capabilities in real-time
HaloKlear ® – Achieve more. Use less.
Traditional synthetic polymers like aPam, or inorganic metal salts, like Alum, require more product
while treating water less effectively. HaloKlear products provide more effective treatment at low
dosages, so less product is required per use than traditional chemistries.

Traditional synthetic polymers like aPam, or inorganic metal salts, like Alum, require more
product while treating water less effectively. HaloKlear products provide more effective
treatment at low dosages, so less product is required per use than traditional chemistries.
Less toxic, no bioaccumulation
HaloKlear natural flocculants are less toxic
than conventional chemistries, effectively
cleaning dirty water that can then be released
into its natural environment, reused or upcycled.
No bioaccumulation concerns exist because
our products are 100% biodegradable through
enzymatic activity.
Zero Toxicity
While all HaloKlear products exhibit exceptionally
low toxicity, our HaloKlear Dual Product System
(DPS) provides a two-step approach that has
been proven to have zero toxicity when used as
directed. Nationally and internationally recognized
as the premier all-natural stormwater treatment
solution, HaloKlear DPS creates dense flocs—
with great shear strength and low water content—
that settle very quickly.

Hydroelectric Dam Restoration
The Project:
HaloKlear was commissioned to regulate and minimize the
turbidity of construction site water for one of Vancouver B.C.’s
largest and most publicly visible restoration projects. With
effluent water being discharged directly into an ecosystem
teeming with salmon and wildlife, reliability and performance
are vital to the success of the project and the preservation of
the fragile habitat.
The Solution:
Ruskin Dam is nested over a sensitive salmon-spawning
habitat, making it a challenging and delicate assignment,
replete with tight government regulations and a tremendous
potential wildlife impact. In the first years of the job, influent
water from the site averaged a turbidity level well over 1,000
NTU, with flow rates reaching 2,000 GMP. HaloKlear’s natural
chitosan-based LiquiFloc 2%, used in conjunction with filtration
equipment, reduced turbidity levels effectively and efficiently.
TOTAL PROJECT BENEFITS:
2,000% turbidity reduction –
From 1,000 NTU to 0.5 NTU
All-natural solution –
Chitosan-based LiquiFloc 2%
Regulatory compliance –
Turbidity reduction well below
required limit
The Result:
Treated water showed turbidity levels averaging 0.5 NTU –
well below the stringent 5 NTU limit. Clean water is returned
to the river ten times cleaner than the regulations require and
2,000% safer for the sensitive habitat.

Environmentally acceptable treatment of oily wastewater
is an urgent problem for many industries. Oily wastewater treatment,
and effective separation of liquid and solid matter in wastewater,
requires effective water treatment chemistries. Chemistry that is natural
and offers a low use cost is the best solution for this challenge.

significant savings in
oil and water separation
The Challenge:
A large oil refinery in the US committed to safety, the
environment, and continuously improving performance began
a cost-cutting initiative in 2013. The Refinery management
team tasked the waterside chemical supplier, an existing
Dober partner, to reduce chemical spending plant wide and
improve wastewater treatment plant efficiency. Dober’s
partner decided to focus on finding a new coagulant for
treating the oily waste streams at the PSO and IGF units
within the wastewater treatment plant.
The Refinery’s waterside chemical supplier spent the first
several months bench testing traditional synthetic and
inorganic coagulants such as, polyDADMAC, polyamine,
and alum blends with little to no improvement over the
existing polyDADMAC/PAC blend being used. After
attempting to find a solution on their own, the waterside
chemical supplier presented this challenge to its partner
Dober, the industry leader in custom formulated natural
coagulant and flocculant chemistries with over 25 years
of research, innovation, and success.
The Solution:
Dober’s Water Treatment Division treats every partner’s
challenge with the highest level of customer service, close
attention to detail, continuous validation, and custom
formulations of our GreenFloc natural coagulant product
line. The GreenFloc product line consists of environmentally
friendly, natural coagulants for use in a wide variety of
water treatment applications. GreenFloc natural coagulants
provide better performance, reduce overall use cost, and are
significantly less toxic to the environment.
Dober’s GreenFloc natural coagulant, GFT 6173, was
specifically developed for treating the oily waste streams
at the PSO and IGF units at this particular refinery. After
developing GFT 6173,
Dober validated product performance with in-house bench
studies over the course of several months. In-house bench
studies allowed Dober to validate GFT 6173’s performance
on a multitude of wastewater samples from the refinery to
ensure we had consistent performance with every type of
oily waste stream encountered in the full-scale application.
Dober also gauged GFT 6173’s performance against
the existing treatment and all other traditional synthetic
and inorganic coagulant blends. After validating product
performance and dosage requirements in our world-class
laboratories, the product was brought on-line for a full-scale,
two-month trial period. Improved product performance
and a reduction in chemical costs were realized during the
two-month trial period.
The Results:
Dober’s GreenFloc natural coagulant technology successfully
reduced Aeration Inlet COD by 20%, Aeration Inlet Oil/
Grease by 44%, and average monthly spend by roughly
$35,000. These results allowed the new natural coagulant
to be put into service full-time and has continued the same
great sustainable performance day-in and day-out.
When it comes to finding innovative solutions for the most
challenging wastewater treatment applications, turn to
Dober first. Dober’s work, not only as a supplier but also
as an innovative customer solutions partner, is why we are
the industry leaders in natural coagulant and flocculant
technology.
