Wastewater Compliance and Sustainability at Evoqua/Xylem
Compliance and sustainability considerations for effective wastewater treatment for finishing operations
Metal processing, which includes cleaning, finishing and forming, ultimately results in metal contaminants in the processing wastewaters. Heavy metals are typically present in metal processing wastewaters and require removal prior to discharge due to their potentially negative health effects in the environment. Further treatment beyond metals-removal can produce water that can be reused, thus improving the sustainability of the manufacturing process.
Compliance with ever-tightening wastewater discharge limitations, meeting sustainability and water recovery goals, and manufacturing finished products with demanding quality specifications are all part of today’s metal processing operations. Choosing the right mix of treatment technologies depends on proper waste stream evaluation and characterization, as well as clearly established treatment goals. Partnering with Evoqua, now a part of Xylem, offers you a range of treatment technologies will ensure success in achieving wastewater treatment goals.
