How CarboNet Works
CarboNet’s patent-pending chemical method is added to any water treatment system that utilizes air injection. The technology successfully targets and removes contaminants such as total iron, hydrocarbons, TSS, and total bacteria to produce a clean brine. All contaminants are precipitated out for removal. Our magic is in our ability to minimally treat the water, shaving costs at all steps in the water treatment process.
