HEAVY METALS REMOVAL

ENVKEM understands that reduction in the concentration of heavy metals is an important part of the wastewater treatment process at your industrial plants.Many countries place limits on the concentration of various metals that may be discharged either directly to the environment or to a local treatment works.Further, the regulatory direction taken in the last five years has been much more restrictive in what metals and concentrations are permissible for water discharge into the environment. Metals can find their way into wastewater generated as a result of various industrial processes including the following:

  • Metal working operations
  • Spent baths from plating and etching operations
  • Rinse water from plating baths
  • Casting operations
  • Air scrubbers
  • Ore process waters
  • Dissolution of metal-containing catalysts
  • Oil & gas extraction (produced water)
  • Incidental corrosion, such as cooling tower blow down

offers a comprehensive suite of products for metal removal. All of our metals removal technology is designed to improve your environmental conformance, while helping you conserve resources and manage your total cost of operation.

PRIMARY TREATMENT

Primary wastewater treatment systems include different types of physical-chemical treatment equipment depending on the components in the wastewater. Often, industrial wastewater contains toxic or hazardous amounts of chemicals, resulting from the industrial process; some chemicals may be suspended, while others are dissolved in this wastewater.Additionally, physical-chemical treatment removes suspended and dissolved particles contained in wastewater.We understand that effective primary wastewater treatment is critical to your plant operations, whether you are discharging directly treating prior to your biological wastewater treatment system. ENVKEM can provide creative solutions to optimize the performance of treatment chemicals and equipment that can dramatically minimize costs, maximize your return on investment, and significantly enhance your bottom line results.

OILY WASTEWATER

An oily waste emulsion, in which oil is dispersed in the water phase, may contain any one of several types of oil in a wide range of concentrations.In addition to oils, typical contaminants of these emulsions may solids, silt, metal particles, emulsifiers, cleaners, soaps, solvents, and other residues. the type of oils found in these emulsions will depend on the industry.They may be fats, lubricants, cutting fluids, heavy hydrocarbons such as tars, grease, crude oils, and diesel oils, and also light hydrocarbons such as gasoline, kerosene, and jet fuel. Concentration in the wastewater may vary from only a few parts per million to as much as 5-10 percent by volume. Treating the emulsion is usually accomplished using coagulants dosed at an appropriate level to neutralize the electrostatic charge. Our experienced team can help you determine the program that will work the best for your oily wastewater treatment application.

FOAM CONTROL

Waste treatment antifoams are used to eliminate or control foam primarily in secondary treatment and final effluent areas in a waste treatment plant.Industries often in need of waste treatment antifoams include food processing plants, paper mills, refineries, municipalities, and petrochemical plants, among others. ENVKEM has a full range of antifoams, including food grade products that can effectively help suit your needs. We will work with you to identify and thoroughly analyze your foaming problems, allowing us to select and effectively apply the proper antifoam for your specific application. E-mail us at chemical@envkem.com and tell us your raw and wastewater challenges. We'll work to deliver integrated solutions based on your specific needs.

ODOR CONTROL FOR WASTEWATER

ENVKEM understands that odor problems are a nuisance to the community and a concern to your waste plant personnel. Wastewater odors range from musty smells to hazardous gases.Most of the odor producing compounds in domestic wastewater result from the anaerobic biological decomposition of organic materials.Industrial waste treatment systems also have specific odor sources and encounter unique problems in dealing with the odors.Understanding the source and nature of wastewater odors is a major step toward controlling problems, and we have many program options that can effectively help meet your needs. Our experienced ENVKEM team can help you determine the program that will work the best for your specific odor control application. E-mail us at chemical@envkem.com and we'll work to deliver integrated solutions based on your specific needs.

SECONDARY TREATMENT

Following primary treatment, wastewater is often sent to what is known as secondary treatment. In secondary treatment, up to 90 percent of the organic matter in the wastewater can be removed by leveraging naturally occuring biological processes.Although many types of plant layouts exist to biologically treat wastewater, they all rely on a healthy, well-acclimated population of microorganisms that require careful management.Various inputs like dissolved oxygen, temperature, and nutrient levels are all critical to the efficiency of the process. We'll work to deliver integrated solutions based on your specific needs. A final step, known as secondary clarification, allows wastewater to settle before it is reintroduced into the environment or sent for further treatment, which is often referred to as tertiary treatment. ENVKEM offers diagnostic services and a full package of treatment programs that can address any situation or operational objective you may need to address. E-mail us at chemical@envkem.com and tell us your raw and wastewater challenges.

DEWATERING

Sludge dewatering is the removal of water from wastewater treatment solids slurry (sludge) in quantities greater than what is achieved by thickening. Mechanical processes and land dewatering techniques are detailed to aid in selecting the most appropriate method for the sludge under consideration.One major reason for dewatering is to decrease the capital and operating costs for final sludge disposal.Dewatering sludge solids from a 1 to a 20 percent solids concentration reduces volume by three-fourths and generates a cake-like material that has a non-fluid consistency. Our ENVKEM flocculants are specifically designed to meet your most demanding sludge dewatering needs, whether you are using a centrifuge, screw press or belt filter press.We can also perform detailed system audits and diagnostics to prescribe the best chemical, equipment and service programs to maximize your system performance and efficiency.

WATER USE AND RECYCLING

As demands for better water stewardship increase throughout the world, so, too, will the needs for managing this precious resource in industrial operations.This includes a number of activities, including having a better understanding of all the uses of water throughout an industrial complex and conserving water when appropriate; finding innovative ways to treat single or combined wastewater streams; as well as recycling of water to improve water and energy efficiency.

WATER CONSERVATION

ENVKEM understands all of the uses of water within an industrial complex.From water for utilities to facility management to process applications, has essential expertise in understanding water and its impacts on your operations. ENVKEM has proprietary knowledge and tools to increase customers' awareness of water usage in either an individual facility or across several facilities.Additionally, we document best practices across several regions and industries to benchmark consumption and also to identify key areas for conserving water and energy.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Wastewater treatment has traditionally been viewed typically as one combined stream. However, because ENVKEM takes a holistic approach to integrated water system management, we identify innovative ways to isolate and treat particular waste streams. This could mean implementation of one or more different wastewater treatment methodologies (primary, secondary, and tertiary) in one or more appropriate locations within a facility. The end result is to minimize the investment, operational cost, and environmental liability.

WATER REUSE AND RECYCLING

As water resources become more and more constrained, so will need to identify appropriate methodologies to reuse existing water flows within a facility.To be successful in this endeavor, requires an advanced knowledge of water quality requirements in various operations, as well as the best in class technologies to provide these prescribed water quality requirements. ENVKEM utilizes a combination of a practical engineering approach and hands-on knowledge of system operation to design, build, operate and/or maintain the optimal reuse solution for each application and customer. It is this holistic approach that allows ENVKEM to be the leader in integrated water management.
