One of the
most significant scientific accomplishments directed by
the principal of Arbokem was the discovery of
3-chloro-4-dichloromethyl-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone
(now known commonly as "MX" in the scientific
literature).
|
In the twenty years since this discovery, scientists throughout
the World have found this compound to be ubiquitous in the
chlorination
of water for potable uses.
"MX" is
one of the most potent mutagenic chemical substances known
to mankind. more ...

 We
have been working on alternative bioenergy technologies,
including bio-cetane enhancer for diesel fuel.
Arbokem's bio-cetane enhancer for diesel fuel is derived
from
co-products of the wood pulp industry. This is a practical means to produce
fuel for transportation.
Bio-cetane diesel fuel provides substantially lower
emissions of conventional pollutants and greenhouse gases.

Pulp and Paper Science and Technology
Arbokem has been engaged in research and
development of pulp and paper process technologies since
1983.
 We
have considerable knowledge and experience in pulping agricultural
fibres and in the research, development, engineering design
and construction of community-scale, agri-pulp mills.
"Downtown Paper" is our extra-green,
agripulp paper which uses 50% agricultural fibres and 50%
post-consumer waste.

Road Construction
 Arbokem
is the leader in the science, technology and practice
of using natural, resinous materials, a co-product of
softwood pulp production, for road construction. Our
technology has been used
for paving highways in BC and Saskatchewan since 1990.
