Waste Water Treatment Plants
Equalization & Neutralization
The addition of an EQ tank results in a steady, even, and consistent flow of wastewater throughout the system and effluent generally acidic are neutralized with caustic.
Precipitation & Coagulation
The ionic metals are converted to an insoluble form (particle) by the chemical reaction between the soluble metal compounds and the precipitating reagent.
Flocculation
The wastewater with it’s precipitated pin floc is introduced to the flash mix zone where a polymer flocculent is added.
Clarifier, Inclined Plate:
The flocculated wastewater is introduced into the clarifier where the settling particles land on the inclined plates and are directed downward and into the sludge chamber.
Filter Press
The thickened clarifier sludge is allowed to accumulate sufficiently to provide a full batch for the Filter Press. The filter press is pumped full of the sludge until it is full.
Sand/Carbon Filter
The water to be discharged finallly goes thru these filters which makes final effluent colorless, odourless, free from any organics with very low amount of suspended solids.
Typical industries include:
- Electroplating shops, captive or independent
- Automotive suppliers, trucks, motorcycles etc – Metal to rubber suspension and body parts
- Jewelry mfg
- Machine tool mfg.
- Metal forming such as stamped metal parts that require plating of various types.
- Building materials, cadmium plated nuts, bolts etc. .
- Aerospace
- Wire forming - nails, screws etc
- Appliance makers
- Electronics – gold and silver plating of electrical connectors etc.
