Water Treatment

Water Treatment

Wastewater treatment is frequently required to meet discharge requirements for suspended or dissolved contaminants before disposal into a municipal sewer or a stream. Due to increasingly stringent NPDES or POTW restrictions, technologies that worked previously may no longer work. Cost and water scarcity are driving industrial wastewater treatment, wastewater recovery and recycle efforts in many industries. Energy cost is also driving water recycle efforts in cases where heated water may be going to drain. Contaminants of concern frequently include oils and greases, heavy metals, color, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids.

The Water Professionals have helped develop solutions for industrial wastewater problems using a wide variety of treatment technologies. We will work with you in developing a custom water treatment solution to meet your needs. Since wastewater varies continuously in most operations, we frequently recommend that the proposed solution be confirmed with a small-scale trial.

Introduction

Water is Limited
Less than one-percent of the world's water is available for use. Cleaning water for reuse is an effective way to maintain water quality and supply.

Understanding Watersheds
Surface water is constantly moving. Contaminants, toxins or nutrients travel with the water and, if improperly filtered, can be quickly carried downstream, effecting communities and ecosystems.

Clean water is Essential
All life is dependent upon water. Improperly treated water can lead to disease and ecosystem imbalance, such as eutrophication.
