Need: Recovery of valuable raw material
Customer: A large chemical manufacturer
Challenge: Recover a valuable mineral from the waste stream.
A large chemical manufacturing facility is losing a valuable mineral as a waste byproduct. Because of the low concentration of the mineral in the waste stream, it is not recoverable in their process. The facility is washing almost one million dollars of this mineral down the drain every year. The Water Professionals design and install a membrane concentration system for the recovery of this valuable resource. With the mineral waste now dewatered, the plant recovers and reuses the mineral, resulting in a more profitable and environmentally friendly facility. |
