CarboNet solves the most confounding challenges of liquid/solid separation, offering wastewater treatment chemistry that works more efficiently, quickly, and safely than its peers.
CarboNet is an advanced materials company rethinking the role of chemistry in wastewater treatment. We focus on building smarter, cleaner, more efficient ways to separate solids from water—whether it’s in food and beverage, industrial processing, or municipal systems.
Traditional treatment chemicals weren’t designed with today’s operations in mind. They overdose easily, struggle with variable flow, and often trade short-term results for long-term costs like excess sludge, failed KPIs, or clogged equipment. We created a different approach.
Our chemistries are built to perform in real-world conditions, lower total cost to treat, and simplify how treatment runs day to day.
“The most technologically innovative water treatment application I have laid eyes on this decade. Excellent in helping us operate within spec, and in simplifying our overall process. It’s the difference between a system that just meets regulations and one that’s set up to accelerate and scale.”
At the core of CarboNet is the NanoNet platform, a proprietary library of molecular agents that power every product we build. NanoNets target and sequester the most problematic particles in water, improving separation while reducing overall chemical demand. By tuning polymer structure and charge at the molecular level, they deliver consistent performance even as flows, solids, and pH shift.
This platform underpins our flocculants, coagulants, and primers, designed to work together as a coordinated system. Flocculants are available in gel and emulsion formats, reducing or simplifying make-down while improving targeting efficiency and floc strength. Coagulants and primers stabilize variable streams and prepare solids for separation. Together, they reduce sludge, lower chemical use, and keep treatment predictable without adding operational burden.
SpecialOps automated treatment extends this system into real-time control. By combining dosing, sensors, and remote monitoring, it adjusts treatment continuously based on actual influent conditions. Instead of dosing for safety margins, operators dose to demand. The result is tighter process control, lower chemical consumption, and more stable performance across single sites or distributed operations.
“I sleep at night knowing that my guys aren’t running around managing peroxide, mixing poly, adding coag... and constantly adjusting dosing. CarboNet made things a LOT easier.”
CarboNet was founded in Vancouver, Canada and has operations in British Columbia, Iowa, California, and Texas.
Four co-founders accidentally created a chemistry platform that’s shaking up a multi-billion dollar chemical cartel. What happens next is anyone’s guess. Read the interview.
