Industrial Water Reuse Solutions
"...small savings multiplied by the efforts of thousands can save substantial amounts of water each day.
By conserving water now, we will have a sufficient amount for the increasing population, expanding
industry, and more intensive agriculture in our future." -- Mable K. Haralson and Ruth Sheard (source)
Reuse System Saves Money and Reduces Compliance Issues
A large truck manufacturing facility that uses a high pressure water spray system to test trucks for leaks was discharging their wastewater
directly to the sanitary sewer and experienced periodic discharge permit violations notices. ProChem designed a recycling system that provides a zero discharge process for the leak test system.
New Facility Prevented Costly Wastewater Disposal
by Installing a Closed Loop System
A new manufacturing facility for recycled and renovated heavy duty truck parts with no
access to a sanitary sewer system was faced with the expense of discharging to an in-ground oil-water separation system with biological treatment and solids disposal. ProChem, Inc. implemented a closed loop water reuse system at a lower capital cost that allows 100% reuse.
Significant Strain Removed From Local POTW With Water Reuse Solution
An automotive assembly plant was discharging approximately 200,000 gallons of wastewater
per day, placing a significant strain on their local POTW and experiencing periodic discharge permit violations. ProChem, Inc. provided a solution for compliance and discharge.
ProChem Reuse System Added On to Existing Wastewater Treatment System
A building materials manufacturer with a corporate sustainability initiative was interested
in recycling their 250K gallons per day of wastewater and had already explored an alternative technology. They were also incurring high costs with their existing physical/chemical treatment program.
Physical/Chemical Treatment Program Changes Make Wastewater Viable for Reuse
An automotive components manufacturing plant was experiencing
discharge permit compliance issues with their wastewater treatment system. ProChem analyzed their water and designed a different treatment program that would mean their wastewater was high enough quality to recycle it back into the facility.
Water Reuse Customer Presents at VWEA's Industrial Waste & Pretreatment Conference
ProChem, Inc. attended the 30th annual Virginia Water Environment Association's Industrial Waste & Pretreatment Conference on March 3rd & 4th in Charlottesville, VA.
A ProChem employee who attended the conference had this to say about the energy there: "It is evident that industrial manufacturers are becoming increasingly attuned to sustainability. On the forefront of discussion was industrial water reuse."
A ProChem water reuse customer presented at the conference and reported that they currently reuse 60% - 80% of the wastewater that they previously discharged to the local waste treatment plant, resulting in a projected saving of $90,000 in water purchasing. The wastewater is being treated and returned to their plant process as high-purity water.
ProChem Responds to a City-Wide Water Reuse Mandate
A manufacturing facility in the Midwest faced city-wide water conservation due to
drought conditions. Their manufacturing process required approximately 40,000 gallons of fresh water per day, leaving water reuse as their only option for maintaining production capacity. ProChem, Inc. provided a Design, Build, Operate solution with a 95% reuse rate.
ProChem's I-PROTM and Metaloc Technology Trumps Traditional Technology
A construction equipment manufacturer whose existing
wastewater treatment and water reuse systems used traditional technology such as low pressure standard RO (for reuse) was experiencing discharge permit compliance violations and wanted to achieve a higher reuse rate. ProChem, Inc. provided a solution for compliance, reduced solids disposal, and increased reuse rate.
95%+ Reuse Rate Achieved When
I-PROTM Replaced Standard RO
An automotive assembly plant using standard reverse osmosis for recycling their
wastewater was not achieving the corporate mandated reuse rate of over 95%. ProChem upgraded their reuse system to its industrial high pressure reverse osmosis technology and achieved the desired reuse rate.
High Quality Influent Extends Process Equipment Life
An engineered wood products manufacturer was incurring high costs due to
regular equipment replacement and extended production downtime, caused by poor quality recycled wastewater from an existing reuse system.
