Terra Novo Announces Floccin Water-Contaminant Removal Product Line

BAKERSFIELD, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 16, 2013) - Terra Novo, a leading manufacturer of erosion and sediment-control products in Bakersfield, California, is launching its new Floccin product line that cost-effectively removes water contaminants and sediment from effluent streams, drainage channels and sediment basins. A single 4-pound mesh Floccin Bag can typically treat 10,000 gallons of water and decrease Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) from 1,000 to less than 20. Floccin Snakes treat sediment-laden stormwater effluent, preventing polluted water from leaving construction sites and settling ponds.

Terra Novo designed Floccin to be effective in all types of water through a sequential process. It first coagulates sediment particles via charge stabilization, then flocculation (the agglomeration of particles) occurs, and finally ion exchange takes place to permanently remove the contaminants by encapsulating them in a newly formed layer of mica. All Individual components of Floccin are NSF 60- and GRAS-approved. 

Floccin Bags and Snakes are a cost-effective alternative to advanced oxidation processes, polymer treatments, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes.

"Our purpose in introducing the Floccin line is to provide an effective product that delivers results at a lower cost than competitor products and processes," says Scott Harrison, president of Terra Novo. "It's user-friendly for installers and helps our customers meet and exceed environmental standards."

Terra Novo's engineers and chemists take pride in their hands-on approach to solving site-specific problems. Farmers, land and home developers, oil and gas companies, forest services and departments of transportation utilize their unique product formulations to accomplish their goals affordably and without harming the environment. The company has completed successful projects for well-known brands including the Federal Highway Administration, Chevron, Shell, Exxon Mobil, First Solar, the U.S. Forest Service and many well-known home builders. Case studies and performance tests support the products' efficacy and attest to the company's commitment to continual improvement.
