Chemical treatment systems are used for water and wastewater applications, and are normally a combination of various individual treatment processes. These systems can also be integrated into a larger, overall treatment scheme.
Chemical treatment systems are custom-designed for the application. Some of the processes available are: pH adjustment for the neutralization of the water stream, coagulation/flocculation for facilitating the removal of suspended solids, and precipitation and clarification for removing sludge.
Examples of contaminants that can be treated using chemical treatment systems include:
- suspended solids
- acids or caustics
- coolants
- emulsified oil
- iron, manganese, or phosphorous
- insoluble and soluble substances containing heavy metals
Each application for chemical treatment systems requires a thorough analysis of the type and level of contamination, the water flow rate, and the required discharge quality.
