Heavy Metal Contamination Removal
for Industrial Wastewater

The MetFloc™ Process

MetFloc™ chemicals are key to the process. Even the presence of metal complex or interfering agents (such as ammonia, sulfates, soaps, etc.) does not reduce the effectiveness of the MetFloc process in bringing metal levels to below compliance discharge limits in a single pass. The MetFloc process does so instantaneously and without multiple pH adjustments. Sludge volume is reduced, and sludge is easier to dewater. Even chrome waste is reduced to total chrome below discharge limits in one pass. Low metal wastes can be removed to ppb levels.

MetFloc chemicals compete with commodity solutions such as caustic soda, ferric chloride, ferrous sulfate, lime and acid additives, or proprietary metal grabbers. The MetFloc solution is more cost effective, provides better results, lowers operator costs, requires fewer tanks, and simplifies hardware.

For the first time, small waste generators can treat heavy metal waste streams onsite, lowering hauling charges dramatically. Packaged batch and continuous heavy metal treatment systems available from Wastech make batches as small as 50 gallons economical. Please see the following:

• ALPHA CWT50 for up to 50-gallon batch applications
• ALPHA CWT75 for up to 75-gallon batch applications.
• ALPHA CWT100 for 100-gallon volume or 2 gpm maximum throughput.
