Industrial Water Reuse Solutions
The Customer
The Problem
An automotive assembly plant whose manufacturing processes require approximately 200,000 gallons of fresh water per day and introduce zinc, nickel, phosphorus, and other assorted suspended solids into their wastewater.
The 200K gallons of wastewater per day was being discharged, which placed a significant strain on their local POTW and resulted in periodic discharge permit compliance violations. The customer's existing wastewater treatment system was a batch type system and would not be capable of meeting future production requirements. Additionally, the facility was under a corporate initiative to recycle wastewater.
The ProChem Solution
After completing the water analysis, assessing the facility's reuse potential and production goals, ProChem offered a new wastewater treatment solution with water reuse. This solution was a continuous flow treatment system and a ProChem I-PROTM water reuse system. These systems operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
The wastewater treatment system removes the metals, phosphorus, and other assorted suspended solids using ProChem physical/chemical treatment and ion-exchange
technologies. The water reuse system further purifies the wastewater using ProChem's industrial high pressure reverse osmosis (I-PROTM) technology and then feeds that water back into the facility's manufacturing process.
Both systems are equipped with local monitoring and automation controls, requiring minimal operator interaction.
The Win
- 100% discharge permit compliance
- Removed strain on the POTW
- Addressed corporate initiative for water recycling
- Water cost savings
