Innovation
Shaping the Future
The Carus legacy was forged by innovation. In the early 20th century, our founder Dr. Edward Hegeler Carus was inspired by the growing need for potassium permanganate, and he developed a process to manufacture it.
Innovation continues to drive us today. At Carus, we understand the evolving needs of the world, and we continue to seek out new technologies to advance our purpose.
R&D Platforms
Our research and development strategy extends from our vision to provide global environmental solutions for a variety of applications. Through our own research and development, and through relationships with industrial partners, academic institutions, and startup think tanks, Carus continues to seek out technology focused on a cleaner environment, process efficiency, and value add solutions.
Cleaner Environment
For over 100 years, Carus has focused on environmental applications. We manufacture chemical solutions to clean the air, water, and soil. As we look forward to the next 100 years and beyond, we will continue to honor our commitment to the environment.
Efficiency & Value
In the early 20th century, our founder identified a need and developed a process to provide a much-needed chemical solution. Today, we remain focused on creating efficiency and value to serve the growing needs of our customer and our world.
Focused Technology
Water is one of the most important resources in industrial manufacturing operations. Our customers are challenged by increasingly stringent water discharge regulations, with a focus on water recycle and reuse to achieve zero discharge.
Industrial wastewater characteristics are dynamic and require robust technical solutions to accommodate variable water characteristics. Carus has dedicated scientists and application experts to develop customized innovative total solutions to achieve wastewater performance goals for an optimized operating cost.
Carus water technologies are developed based on water and contaminant science, wastewater system knowledge, and industry process expertise. Carus water innovation technology programs are designed to select optimum chemistry through state of the art analysis and lab development to deliver products efficiently to the unit operations, and consistently achieve performance goals in the areas of:
- TSS removal
- Metals & organic management
- Sludge dewatering
- Process optimization through automated monitoring & controlling
- Water recycle & reuse
From maximizing recovery to improving ore grade, every mineral processing operation has unique needs that depend on a balanced and precise process.
Leveraging decades of industry experience, innovative technologies, local on-site service expertise, and research lab and personnel, our goal is to partner with mining customers to develop and employ customized innovative process aid programs, with a focus on both chemical and equipment solutions.
Our goal is to optimize the customer production process and maximize the recovery of valuable minerals, throughput, and asset integrity, all while improving profitability. Our technical team works closely with mining customers to better understand requirements and ultimately help to improve overall performance, while reducing downtime and operating costs.
Carus has developed a series of catalysts which destroy carbon monoxide, ozone, and ethylene oxide through oxidation.
Mobile Emissions (NOx Adsorption & Oxidation): Recent changes to fuel efficiency have changed engine operating conditions, lowering exhaust temperatures and reducing the effectiveness of Pt and Pd to meet more stringent emission requirements. Carus is focused on new technologies that offer low temperature active base metal oxides for NOx oxidation and storage capability as a synergistic replacement for PGM.
Indoor Air: Regenerable material designed for the abatement of harmful contaminants (VOCs) at room temperature. Carus is focused on new solutions that are functional at room temperature, offer higher destruction efficiency, have no by-product formation, and shift the cost of ownership to replacement cost for the catalyst life vs. adsorptive media.
