What Prochem does

Prochem International BV, trading as Prochem Group, is a privately held Dutch specialty chemicals manufacturer founded on July 1, 2013 in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. The company develops and markets green, biodegradable, non-toxic chemical formulations for the energy and liquid recycling industries, with its portfolio organized into three application areas: waste oil treatment (deashing agents D 93B, D 115, and PNI 10 used to produce ash- and heavy-metal-free dry oil for marine fuel, PFO, or lube stock, plus non-hazardous demulsifiers for dewatering); tank cleaning and sand washing (PD 7 WS and GreenKLEEN, positioned as no-man-entry cleaning solutions that minimize hazardous waste and downtime); and water shut-off products for upstream energy applications. Prochem's stated differentiation rests on combining industrial functionality with environmental profile, supported by ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certifications and IPPC authorization across manufacturing sites.

The company operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer go-to-market model with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts, targeting industrial buyers in the energy sector and operators in the liquid recycling value chain. Its manufacturing and commercial footprint spans the Netherlands (headquarters at Koedijkerweg 5-26, Amersfoort), a US office, and IPPC-authorized production facilities in the UK and EU, enabling it to serve clients across Europe and North America. Prochem is founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries; revenue figures, headcount detail beyond the 11–50 employee range, and named customer logos are not publicly disclosed, and the company has no patents, M&A activity, or external funding rounds on record.
