Wastewater Discharge Compliance

Category: Process
Need: Discharge compliance
Customer: Magazine printing company
Challenge: Reduction of copper in a waste stream

With copper concentrations exceeding discharge limits, the customer is facing fines and possible revocation of their discharge permit. A wastewater treatment firm recommended a solution which was capital and space intensive.  Having neither the budgeted capital nor the space, the WaterProfessionals® are asked for another opinion.  An ion exchanger utilizing a selective resin, having a strong affinity for copper is recommended. The WaterProfessionals® provide the system on a rental basis to avoid the need for capital outlay. Space requirements are only 42" x 42".  The process assures copper is recovered and recycled rather than disposed of in a landfill, thereby limiting the customer's environmental liability.
