About pH Adjustment

By Definition pH is the measure of free hydrogen activity in water. In more practical terms, although not technically correct in every case, pH is the measure of how acidic or basic a substance is. Measured on a scale of 0-14, solutions with a pH of less than 7 are considered acids while those with a pH of 7 or more are bases.

Bases are used to neutralize acids while acids are used to neutralize caustics; the term caustic and base, although not truly synonymous, are often exchangeable. The byproducts are normally salts and water.

In the initial step of all kinds of wastewater treatment, pH adjustment is used to achieve the desired set point. After any necessary "pH adjustment", addition of flocculants and mixing of flocculants is utilized to precipitate liquid/solid separation. These flocculants will envelop most suspended solids reducing them to non-hazardous waste.

After mixing the flocculants, separation of the liquids and the solids begins. An extensive equipment line will addresses virtually all of your wastewater treatment needs, requirements and assure proper execution of pH adjustment.

When your wastewater is high in soluble organics, a biological wastewater treatment process is typically appropriate. Biological wastewater treatment can be used with or without prior liquid solids separation and may bypass other steps required for other types of wastewater treatment, such as heavy metals removal.

The final step in wastewater treatment, before disposal or recycling of the solids, is sludge dewatering. Sludge dewatering is the process of removing the water from the solids or sludge for wastewater recycling. To maximize profits and return on investment, this step requires high quality sludge dewatering equipment and a very specific skill set.
