UNSPSC 47101611: Demulsifiers

UNSPSC 47101611 Demulsifiers is a Commodity code covering chemical products that break emulsions and separate immiscible liquids in industrial and municipal treatment processes. State and local governments procure demulsifiers primarily for water and wastewater treatment operations—specifically to control hydrogen sulfide, odor, and corrosion in collection and treatment infrastructure, and to optimize solids dewatering and thickening in biosolids handling. Recent solicitations show demand across water utilities, wastewater treatment plants, and regional water authorities for both the chemical products themselves and associated treatment services including site visits, training, and system optimization.

Issuing bodies span a mix of municipal water departments, county water and wastewater authorities, and special-purpose water districts. Sarasota County, Gwinnett County, Tallahassee, Palm Beach County, and Dallas Water Utilities appear as repeat or prominent recent buyers. The geographic spread concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with activity also in California, Michigan, Missouri, and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include Sarasota County's sole-source procurement (ISS 2026-ISS-767) for Pipe & Well Renew chemical products and cleaning services targeting leachate and landfill gas condensate systems, due July 15, 2026; the City of Dallas's 36-month ID/IQ contract (BR2600030262) for sewer odor and corrosion control services using ferrous iron salt and ferric chloride additives, due June 26, 2026, with an estimated value of $10 million; and the City of Tallahassee's competitive sealed-bid solicitation (IFB-067-26-CPW) for magnesium hydroxide slurry supply on a five-year initial term with optional renewals, due June 16, 2026. The code also captures broader water treatment chemical procurements where demulsification or corrosion control is a component within multi-line-item chemical supply contracts, such as Griffin, Georgia's line-item bid for 16 treatment chemicals and Flowery Branch's five-year wastewater and drinking water treatment chemical contract.
