The MetFloc Process
MetFloc
chemicals are key to the process. Even the presence
of metal complex or interfering agents (such as ammonia, sulfates, soaps, etc.)
does not reduce the effectiveness of the MetFloc process in bringing metal levels
to below compliance discharge limits in a single pass. The MetFloc process does
so instantaneously and without multiple pH adjustments. Sludge volume is reduced,
and sludge is easier to dewater. Even chrome
waste is reduced to total chrome below discharge limits in one pass. Low metal
wastes can be removed to ppb levels.
MetFloc
chemicals compete with commodity solutions such as caustic soda, ferric chloride,
ferrous sulfate, lime and acid additives, or proprietary metal grabbers. The MetFloc
solution is more cost effective, provides better results, lowers operator costs,
requires fewer tanks, and simplifies hardware.For
the first time, small waste generators can treat heavy metal waste streams onsite,
lowering hauling charges dramatically. Packaged
batch and continuous heavy metal treatment systems available from Genotech
make batches as small as 50 gallons economical. Please see the following:
