Meet your challenges head on with our wastewater treatments.
As environmental regulations become more restrictive, improving the performance of industrial wastewater systems becomes even more critical. To help customers achieve their wastewater management objectives, Solenis offers one of the most advanced and comprehensive product lines of wastewater treatment chemicals available. This portfolio includes solutions for removing contaminants, minimizing sludge handling and disposal costs, recycling or reusing effluent, and improving the quality of industrial wastewater.
Wastewater Treatment Chemicals and More
In addition to a comprehensive portfolio of wastewater treatment chemicals, Solenis also offers a wide range of services that help ensure the optimum performance of industrial wastewater systems. For example, our Customer Analytical Services group provides comprehensive analysis of liquid and solid samples from customers, including organic, inorganic and microbiological analyses. And, our Water Applications Testing group, using laboratory bench and pilot-scale equipment, enables customers to evaluate existing and newly developed wastewater treatment technologies and explore “what-if” treatment scenarios under actual-use conditions.
Dedicated Wastewater Treatment Support
All of our wastewater management programs are supported by a dedicated team of experienced applications experts who support our field representatives with onsite and remote technical support, providing the industry’s best expertise in troubleshooting and maintaining industrial wastewater systems.
Common Wastewater Treatment Challenges
Wastewater systems are susceptible to various treatment challenges that can affect efficiency, compliance, and overall plant performance. Without a customized wastewater treatment program, issues such as poor settling, excess foam, scaling, corrosion, and microbial growth can contribute to equipment failures, increased maintenance, higher operating expenses, and environmental compliance risks.
Industrial facilities are required to adhere to strict local, national, and international regulations for wastewater discharge (e.g., EPA NPDES permits). Failure to comply can lead to significant fines and damage to reputation.
Outdated equipment, inefficient treatment systems, and incorrect chemical dosing can drive up operating costs. These costs include increased energy usage, chemical waste, and maintenance expenses.
Emissions from wastewater can create unpleasant odors, disrupt nearby communities and resulting in regulatory challenges.
Proper handling and disposal of sludge generated during the treatment process may pose environmental and logistical challenges.
Many facilities rely on outdated wastewater systems that struggle to handle modern volumes or pollutant loads. This can increase maintenance demands and operational risks.
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) may impose surcharge fees for discharges of high-strength wastewater that exceed allowable limits, straining operational budgets.
