- Teta Vannrensing’s KitoFlokk is a liquid or dry biopolymer coagulant/flocculant for water treatment. The article says it binds organic and inorganic particles—including heavy metals, suspended solids, PAHs and PCBs—so they can be removed. It describes the product as non-toxic, biodegradable, acrylamide-free, marine-life-safe and usable across water-treatment systems and pH conditions.
- The company says users can reduce inorganic metal-coagulant use by 70–100%, energy and operating costs, sludge volume and sludge transport. It says resulting sludge may be upcycled for fertiliser, animal feed or protein recovery. The article gives no independent performance data for these stated benefits.
- KitoFlokk is reported to have been used in Norwegian drinking-water treatment for 20 years. Target markets include public and private water/wastewater utilities, primarily in Europe; other proposed uses include industrial water, road/tunnel/construction runoff and land-based aquaculture, which the article says was being tested.
- The article’s USD 211.3 billion global water-treatment market figure is a projection for 2025 and is now historical.
- Linked to SDGs 6 (Clean water and sanitation) and 12 (Responsible consumption and production).
