Nalco is a provider of integrated water treatment and process improvement services, chemicals and equipment programmes for industrial and institutional applications. The company is split into the following divisions: Industrial and Institutional Services, Paper Services Division, Energy Services Division, Upstream and Downstream.
Nalco is investing to support rapid growth in geographic markets that include China, India and Russia; in research and development for technologies such as membrane treatments, automated monitoring and control technologies; and improved end-product quality for customers in paper and other industries.
The company intends to implement a series of additional process improvements, improve production efficiency and reduce the amount of time employees spend on routine administrative tasks. Process improvements are its objective, but cost savings are said to be the main outcome.
