APROMUD\u00ae<\/strong> is the benchmark drying solution for sludge and liquid spoil management. Based on biodegradable organic polymers formulated by APROTEK, it transforms mineral or organic sludge into manageable material, optimizing handling, transport, and potential recycling. Effective at low dosage (4 to 10 kg\/m\u00b3), APROMUD\u00ae delivers immediate results, cost saving alternative to standard binders, improves loading safety, reduces truck rotations, and maintains neutral pH. Safe for operators, low-carbon, and environmental-friendly responsible, it widens the number of treatment centers and landfills accepting the removed material by submitting a solidified waste adapts to all recovery channels while accelerating disposal rates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

 APROFLOC\u2122<\/strong> is a versatile range of flocculants and coagulants designed for efficient wastewater and industrial process treatment. Acting through electrostatic charge affinity, it aggregates suspended colloids, concentrates sludge, and releases clarified water. The process enables rapid solid-liquid separation, reducing sludge volumes and optimizing on-site space. APROFLOC\u2122 delivers immediate efficiency, supports water recycling, and improves sludge dewatering and concentration. Available as powders, liquids, or emulsions to suit each effluent type.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

COLMATEK\u2122<\/strong> is designed to solve circulation losses encountered during drilling operations, preventing costly delays and borehole instability. Based on high-swelling, elastic organic polymers, it is injected directly into the drilling fluid when losses occur. Upon contact, it activates and forms adhesive plates naturally drawn into fractures or permeable zones, ensuring fast sealing. Supplied in 20 kg buckets, COLMATEK\u2122 works at low dosage (10\u201320 lb\/100 gal or 12\u201324 kg\/m\u00b3),<\/em> allows simultaneous Venturi grout injection, and is non-fermenting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

OUR ECO-RESPONSIBLE COMMITMENTS<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our mission: to promote a sustainable development for a lower carbon footprint of civil engineering & waste management operations<\/strong>
The ecological transition is essential if we are to respond favourably to climate and environmental issues.
At APROTEK, we are obviously concerned by this major challenge. We are convinced that all industries must follow this new roadmap to achieve a carbon balance by 2050.
Our main objective is to facilitate your field operations while improving your carbon footprint. We are therefore continuing our efforts and developing new, effective and 100% biodegradable products.
Supporting industry in its ecological transition<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Our mission is to promote a circular and responsible economy. By reusing existing resources, we are<\/em> making an effective contribution to limiting overproduction. An initial non-compliant product then<\/em> becomes the raw material for another manufacturer.<\/em>
Our role is to provide our customers with their own solutions, supporting them in the field and helping them with their recycling and recovery processes. In this way, we are putting in place a new value chain to respond effectively to the climate challenge of today and tomorrow\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

APROTEK moves : Solar Impulse LABEL<\/strong>
Our APROMUD\u00ae range of super-absorbents was one of the first 500 solutions to be awarded the \u2018Efficient Solution\u2019 label by the Solar Impulse Foundation.
As well as rewarding our work in developing low-carbon products, this distinction highlights the economic, ecological and technical benefits for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APROMUD\u00ae G373: a major breakthrough in saline sludge conditioning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industrial activities (construction, industrial processes, mining, contaminated sites and soils, ports, etc.) <\/em>generate significant volumes of sludge containing high concentrations of salts, particularly sodium and calcium chlorides. The presence of these salts greatly complicates conditioning, handling, transportation, and storage operations, while increasing energy and logistical costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conventional solutions\u2014such as thermal coagulation, heavy lime or carbonate treatments, or standard drying agents binders\u2014reach their limits in saline environments. They often require substantial overdosing, significantly increase the volume of material to be disposed of, and result in higher energy consumption and environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APROMUD\u00ae G373<\/strong>, a patented innovation developed by APROTEK, overcomes this major technical barrier. Specifically formulated for saline environments, it enhances liquid absorption capacity by up to 200% or more in salt-laden matrices. It enables rapid solidification (approximately 15 minutes) of salty sludge at low dosage, making it immediately shovel-ready and easy to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its performance is independent of the type of salts present (NaCl, CaCl\u2082, KCl, MgCl\u2082, etc.).<\/em> By improving particle cohesion, APROMUD\u00ae G373 reduces stockpile erosion during heavy rainfall, enhances loading safety, and optimizes logistics costs through reduced volume and lower energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neutral, non-corrosive, and inert in mineral matrices (biodegradable under specific conditions), it also improves operational efficiency by facilitating equipment and truck bed cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APROMUD\u00ae G373 positions itself as a benchmark technical solution for the efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable treatment of industrial salty<\/strong> sludge.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
