Stockhausen's Praestol high performance polymers are vital to
water and wastewater treatment These polymers are used in the treatment process for liquid/solids separation and efficient, cost-effective dewatering and thickening. Praestol helps produce dry solids such as compost which can be effectively reused.

The Praestol technology is valuable as a process aid to many other industries, including mining, paper, oil and gas, and sugar. In the paper industry, Praestol polymers improve retention of fiber and fillers and increase drainage speed.
