Field representatives supporting the refining industry average 20 years of experience, and our technical specialists average 22 years of experience, giving them a deep understanding of your industry’s needs.
Our highly experienced application experts and local water treatment specialists can provide a wide array of water treatment solutions for your utility systems.
ChemTreat offers a full line of boiler water treatment chemicals, testing, and control equipment. Our programs can help you increase system efficiency, decrease plant downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and extend equipment life.
Our film-forming amines are specifically designed to minimize corrosion throughout feedwater, boiler, and condensate systems. Used in conjunction with neutralizing amine programs, filming amines can improve overall corrosion inhibition in very complex steam/condensate systems, as well as reduce neutralizing amine usage in systems with very high boiler water alkalinity.
These filming amines can also greatly improve downtime corrosion (one of the most aggressive forms of corrosion in boiler systems) compared to industry-standard programs.
Other benefits of filming amines over industry-standard programs include:
We have extensive experience providing water treatment for a variety of cooling systems. Our team will work with you to understand your needs and create a custom program to help you meet your goals.
Applying our products can help keep your system running at peak efficiency, extend equipment life, reduce water usage, and meet your environmental goals.
Our FlexPro® technology offers a breakthrough innovation in cooling system treatment.
This treatment program includes non-phosphorus, non-zinc and low-phosphorus, low-zinc options to help your facility meet its environmental goals.
Benefits of FlexPro over industry-standard phosphate scale and corrosion inhibitor programs include:
Committed to continuous innovation, ChemTreat has developed FlexCorr, is an even more advanced cooling treatment technology for best-in-class corrosion performance.
Like FlexPro, this suite of products offers both non-phosphate, non-zinc, and low-phosphate, low-zinc options. It also offers an even lower aquatic toxicity by LC50 for facilities looking to improve their environmental impact.
ChemTreat pretreatment experts can design a full chemical treatment and monitoring program customized to your specific needs. They can review design metrics around reverse osmosis systems and any upstream filtration and work with you to improve the overall efficiency of your pretreatment system.
Our wastewater specialists can customize a wastewater treatment process that helps your refinery optimize chemical usage, improve effluent flow rates, and reduce off-site treatment costs.
Our solutions can support the following treatment needs at your facility:
Contaminants such as phosphate, iron, lead, copper, chromium, nickel, and manganese can enter wastewater streams from a variety of industrial processes.
We offer a full range of products for removing heavy metals from wastewater. Our treatment programs can be effective in all discharge pH ranges and help you reduce treatment time and chemical usage.
ChemTreat field representatives and consultants have extensive experience supporting systems for effective water recycling. When properly treated, water reuse systems provide a variety of benefits, fostering long-term sustainability.
To reuse grey water as an industrial influent, your facility may need a treatment program to mitigate suspended and dissolved solids, microbiological nutrients, metal oxides, and other harmful constituents.
Reclaimed water can come from a variety of sources, including the local municipality wastewater treatment plant, rinse waters for demineralizers and other plants systems, process water overflow, and blowdown from boiler or cooling systems.
ChemTreat’s experienced technical team is well-versed in reuse applications. We can design a water treatment program to help you reuse water in your facility to achieve cost savings, improve efficiency, and meet your environmental goals.

ChemTreat has a wide range of hydrogen sulfide scavenger technologies available for refinery and terminal applications. We also have extensive experience implementing and servicing H2S control programs and can customize treatment strategies for your unique system challenges.
Our portfolio of H2S and mercaptan scavengers includes:
ChemTreat’s CT9155 treatment is extremely effective in removing H2S and small molecular weight mercaptans from gas, water, crude, natural gas liquids (NGL), hydrocarbon condensates, and fuel oils.
Unlike traditional H2S scavengers, this technology converts H2S to bisulfide and uses a catalyst to speed up the oxidation reactions.
This unique formulation offers many advantages over traditional triazine (MEA/MMA) treatment:
ChemTreat offers our refining and terminals customers a full suite of finished fuel additives and treatment solutions:
Flair Gas Recovery Units (FGRUs) often contain corrosive chemicals like acid gases, chlorides, and fluorides from the refinery process. Our team has developed a best-in-class treatment program to help you reduce corrosion and fouling from these contaminants in your vital FGRU systems.
The pictures below showcase the results of our FGRU treatment program. Units that previously needed to be shut down for cleaning and repairs every few months can now operate for years between shutdowns thanks to ChemTreat’s technology and expertise.
