In June, the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) presented Nalco Water, an Ecolab company, with an AmeriStar Award in the Industrial/Commercial category for its Advanced Polymer Activation System. The patented unit offers an automated solution for dispensing powdered chemistry in wastewater treatment applications.

“We’re proud to receive this recognition from the Institute of Packaging Professionals for our Advanced Polymer Activation System,” said Priyanka Lamba Nadgiri, assistant marketing manager, Light Industries, Nalco Water. “The unit’s innovative design address two of the most compelling problems in wastewater management: operator safety and ease of handling. In many cases, the unique packaging of the Advanced Polymer Activation System has given us an edge over other product options for wastewater treatment.”

IoPP serves to create educational and networking opportunities for packaging professionals. According to IoPP, the AmeriStar Awards program is among the packaging industry’s oldest and most prestigious design competitions. Awards are presented annually in 17 categories; entries are judged by a panel of 12 packaging industry experts.

The Advanced Polymer Activation System improves workplace safety and hygiene by increasing polymer activation via dust-free packaging and dispensing. For more information about this and other wastewater monitoring and control solutions from Nalco Water, click here.
