Case Study For: Gas and Fluid Measurement Instrumentation Manufacturer

Goal:

Repair or replacement of existing wastewater treatment system

Background:

The manufacturer's existing treatment process was a conventional metal precipitation system with a clarifier and microfiltration (membrane) process. Due to the age of the process and lack of a full time operator, the customer did not consistently meet permit discharge limits for chromium, nickel and zinc. This led the customer to explore alternatives to conventional coagulation / precipitation treatment technology.

The Solution:

Based upon the goals established by the customer, ProChem, Inc. performed treatability studies of the various industrial waste streams from the plant. From this study, a suitable technology was selected to meet the project goals, providing an efficient and cost effective solution that utilizes particle filtration, metal specific ion exchange, and membrane filtration. The metal specific resins are regenerated by ProChem, Inc. at our permitted metal specific ion exchange facility; the customer changes filters periodically and monitors chemical volumes for the pH adjustment process.
