Wastewater Treatment Chemistry
Management of process and produced water is a major environmental and business issue for operators and service companies alike. At today’s rates, a plant’s waste water production can have a real impact on profitability. CDF Industries’ treatment systems can be designed to meet any criteria necessary for reuse within the plant or discharge to sewer.
With municipalities and local governments putting stricter limits on discharged water, treated wastewater that once could be discharged to sewer, must now be hauled away. Discharging unacceptable wastewater subjects a facility to huge fines and more scrutiny.
CDF Industries has had success in treating and managing waste streams with issues such as: hexavalent chrome, trivalent chrome, BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), and, COD (chemical oxygen demand).
Why Clay Based Treatment?
Clay-based flocculants can be mixed very quickly with the wastewater, producing large floc particles that won't break down under heavy agitation. Once mixing is complete, these large flocs quickly settle, allowing the clear water layer to be drawn off. Furthermore, the resulting sludge dewaters easier than the sludge produced from liquid treatment chemicals.
Why CDF Treatment Chemistry?
Our treatment clay mixture is a one-step process that takes only a few minutes, but several complex chemical reactions occur as it treats the wastewater. Read More...
