Our wastewater treatment services help reduce your costs and environmental impact.
As water becomes a scarce resource, industrial wastewater treatment has become an ever-critical part of plant operations. Companies that put a high priority on minimizing their impact and increasing the safe reuse of water are reaping many benefits.
Wastewater from manufacturing plants contains a variety of contaminants. Common pollutants include organic matter, dissolved metals and hydrocarbons, pathogens and non-biodegradable chemicals.
Design
Wastewater generated by industrial facilities can be high in a variety of contaminants. These include metals, BOD (biological oxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand) and TSS (total suspended solids).
We can help you save money and protect the environment with our cost-effective wastewater treatment solutions.
A treatment plant can eliminate these pollutants before being discharged to a sanitary sewer or to surface water. The plant can also reuse the treated wastewater and dispose of it safely.
Designing an industrial wastewater treatment system is a challenging task. It requires consideration of the wastewater source, its concentration and the desired treatment objective.
Besides, the plant must be built to match the existing surroundings. It must be laid out in a way that it blends in with the natural terrain and does not scare neighbors away.
Our team can help you reduce your costs and improve your environmental performance with our advanced wastewater treatment technologies.
The equipment and processes used to remove pollutants are often customized for specific industries. These processes are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the applicable regulations.
Installation
For most industrial companies producing wastewater as a byproduct of their processes, an industrial wastewater treatment system is necessary to ensure safety precautions and discharge regulations are met. It also helps facilities avoid damaging the environment, human health, and their process or products (especially if the wastewater is reused).
Industrial wastewater has a number of pollutants and contaminants, including heavy metals like copper, lead, and chromium. These can cause environmental damage, water pollution, and harmful disease if not treated properly.
To remove these contaminants, many industrial wastewater treatment plants use disinfection technologies such as chlorine and UV sterilizers. Chlorine kills bacteria and microorganisms, oxidizes iron, hydrogen sulfide, manganese, and organic matter, and it breaks down toxic compounds.
Another step in the process is grit removal, which includes aeration tanks that stir up wastewater so it doesn’t settle. This helps prevent damage to equipment and clogs in downstream systems.
Operation
The operation of an industrial wastewater treatment system includes a range of process technologies that are designed to remove unwanted pollutants and substances from water that may be discharged back into the environment or reused within the plant. Depending on the type of wastewater and the processes involved, an industrial wastewater treatment system can be used alone or in conjunction with other water management techniques to achieve the best possible results.
The most common contaminant in industrial wastewater is dissolved organic material such as sewage sludge, food processing waste, oil and grease, and other biodegradable solids. These substances can cause problems for aquatic life, crops and irrigation systems.
Many industries require on-site treatment of their operational wastewater prior to it being land applied or discharged into a waterway or sewer system. This can prevent or reduce sewer surcharge fees due to high levels of suspended organic solids.
Maintenance
Water purification systems are a key part of any industrial wastewater treatment system. They remove harmful chemicals and other contaminants from water for safe use in processes and equipment.
In order to ensure optimal plant performance, wastewater treatment plants should implement a preventative maintenance program that includes routine inspections and control checks. This will help reduce breakdowns, extend equipment life and minimize production interruptions.
Wastewater treatment plants often experience unscheduled downtime due to unexpected equipment failures or power outages. Developing a comprehensive and data-driven preventative maintenance plan can help eliminate these issues.
A WaterProfessionals(r) technician will conduct a walkthrough of the system following a customized checklist while inspecting each component. Deficiencies and corrective actions are spelled out in a report and forwarded electronically to management.
