TREATMENT: (estimated per 100 gal wastewater)

   1.  Add approximately 0.6 gallons of CETcoag™ CA103 and 

        mix.

   2.  Adjust pH to 10 with Sodium Hydroxide

   3.  Add approximately 2.9 lbs RM-10 2009, mix until

        flocculation and water clarity is complete, and then

        filter.

RESULT

This treatment was successful in reducing the contaminants analyzed for in the submitted sample.


Sludge Evaluation Report

The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) (Federal Register, Vol. 55, No. 126/June 29, 1990) was performed on the submitted RM-10 sludge.  The leachate was tested for the following metals.

Metals (mg/L) RM-10 Sludge Limits (mg/L)
Arsenic 0.01 5.0
Barium 0.54 100.0
Cadmium 0.006 1.0
Chromium 0.09 5.0
Lead <0.02 5.0
Mercury 0.06 0.2
Selenium 0.07 1.0
Silver <0.005 5.0

RESULT:

The sludge produced by the RM-10 treatment met the limits set by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) (Federal Register, Vol. 55, No. 126/June 29, 1990).


RM-10 is that easy to use! Our system offers a simple alternative to the cost of hauling away wastewater to be treated off-site, while ensuring that treated effluent will meet Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) discharge limits established by local and state authorities.

RM-10 provides an economical and environmentally sound solution to your facilities wastewater.
