Neutralization requires a flexible
solution for reliable performance. One size does not fit all when
working with industrial processes. For example, it may be necessary to
combine thermal plastics with metals to meet temperature extremes or
chemical compatibility with the waste stream. In this case the pH was high
and significant solvents were present that precluded PP, PE or PVC. Such
application specific custom solutions are a specialty of Wastech engineer,
who are also process experts.
Shown above is an example of a two-stage,
20 gpm, OMEGA neutralization system with stainless steel piping, sealed
metal tank with industrial LIGHTNIN mixers, 110% secondary containment,
Rosemount pH probes, and Burkert ultrasonic level transmitters. Integrated
into the design is a duplex pump lift station with cast iron vertical
centrifugal pumps mounted on the final monitoring tank. Two control panels
were included, one shown with Rosemount pH analyzers and one (not shown)
with ABB VFD drives and Profibus communication.
The acid day tank is fitted with an
ultrasonic transmitter mounted on flanged pipe extension with dual metering
pumps with splash-guard tubing. The chemical day tank is double contained on
a reinforced PP platform with 3/4” PP containment, with brackets for floor
mounting and forklift access.

solution tailored to your custom needs.
