SOLIDified solid chemistry, fed through AP Tech feeders, fixes all four. The active chemistry is the same, now in solid form. - **Hazardous Liquid Handling** Concentrated liquids mean PPE, spill risk, and exposure for the people in your chemical room. - **Drums, Storage & Freight** Liquid programs fill the chemical room and the loading dock, and you pay freight to ship water. - **Inconsistent Dilution** Hand-mixed or drifting feed rates give you treatment that wanders out of range. How It Works ## How SOLIDified Works The same four steps on every cooling, boiler, and closed-loop program. 1 ### Solid Concentrate Proven cooling, boiler, and closed-loop chemistry, pressed into a solid, not a drum of diluted liquid. 2 ### Dissolved On Site Patented dissolving equipment turns the solid into treated water at a controlled rate. 3 ### Precise, Steady Dose The same dose every cycle, without anyone hand-mixing a drum. 4 ### Protected Systems Boilers, cooling towers, and closed loops stay in range and protected. Why Facilities Switch ## Safer to Handle and Steadier to Run. The same treatment results, without the liquid chemicals sitting in your plant. ### No Hazardous Liquid Handling The concentrated liquids, the spill kits, and most of the PPE leave with the drums. Your team handles a solid instead of a hazard. ### Consistent Dosing The feeder dissolves product at a controlled rate, so treatment holds steady instead of swinging with hand-mixed batches. ### Less Storage, No Drum Freight Solids take a fraction of the space, and you stop paying to ship and store water. ### Safer Team, Easier Audits Fewer hazards in the chemical room means a shorter SDS binder and a simpler walkthrough when an auditor shows up. ### AP Tech Feeders & Passivation Solids We run AP Tech Ultra-M solid feeders and passivation solids.

A couple of recent solid-chemistry jobs: ![Three SOLIDified solid feeders installed by Hoffman Water](https://www.hoffmanwater.com/assets/solidified-feeders.jpg) “We installed a nice SOLIDified system today. They will no longer need to be handling hazardous liquids.” Doug Hoffman · from the job site ![Checking a solid feeder spray pattern on a service call, Hoffman Water](https://www.hoffmanwater.com/assets/feeder-detail.jpg) “These older feeders are obsolete. Get with AP Tech and upgrade to the Ultra-M.” Doug Hoffman · from the job site [Follow more jobs on LinkedIn →](https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-hoffman-7133201a5/) Equipment & Partner ## AP Tech Feeders, Built for Solids We run AP Tech solid feeders. The Ultra-M dissolves solid product into your makeup or treated water at a controlled rate, so the dose holds steady without anyone mixing a drum. We also use passivation solids for new condensers and startups. If your feeders are older or obsolete, we coordinate the upgrade with [AP Tech](https://www.aptechsolids.com). Partner contact for solids: Matt Haikalis, CWT. - **Ultra-M Solid Feeders** Controlled, repeatable dosing for boiler, cooling, and closed-loop programs. - **Passivation Solids** Clean passivation for new condensers and system startups. - **Feeder Upgrades & Retrofits** We replace obsolete feeders and set up the conversion end to end.

It ships in a low-carbon-footprint profile and dissolves into a precise dose on site, so you get a well-run program without the hazard and waste of liquid drums. ### Safety - Removes the risk of discharging hazardous liquid chemicals during shipment, storage, or application. - Improves operator safety by reducing exposure to hazardous chemicals. - Eliminates dangerous odors and fumes. - Safer, cleaner mechanical rooms from a smaller footprint. ### Sustainability - A 44-lb case of solids replaces 500-lb, 55-gallon liquid drums and the extra diesel they burn. - Fully recyclable containers. - Avoids the sodium hydroxide that liquid programs use for pH control, a corrosive, energy-intensive additive. ### Economic - Maximizes utility efficiency and equipment life by controlling corrosion, scale, and microbiological fouling. - Saves water by skipping drum triple-rinsing and running higher cycles of concentration. - Cuts costs tied to chemical-exposure health issues and drum-handling injuries. - Eliminates eye-wash station installation and maintenance.

The active chemistry is the same; it arrives as a solid instead of a drum of diluted liquid. Fed through an AP Tech feeder, the dosing stays consistent and your water stays in range. For boiler, cooling tower, and closed-loop programs it performs as well as the liquid it replaces, without the handling risk. A solid feeder. AP Tech's Ultra-M feeders dissolve the solid product into your makeup or treated water at a controlled rate. If you have older or obsolete feeders, we coordinate the upgrade and handle sizing, install, and startup. Yes. We review what you feed now, match it to the right solid chemistry, set up the feeders, and make the switch without interrupting treatment. Most teams notice the cleaner chemical room and the end of drum handling right away. That is the main reason facilities switch. Solid chemistry takes the concentrated liquids, the spill risk, and most of the PPE out of the chemical room. It also makes storage simpler and audits easier. Talk to Doug about a solid-chemistry conversion. Boiler, cooling tower, or closed-loop. We'll handle the chemistry, the feeders, and the switch.
