Waste Water Treatment Case Studies
Ctech Europe have provided companies with waste waster treatment and filtration in the UK and Europe
Waste Water Treatment Challenge:
Waste water from:
Coolant waste water (containing oil, grease, phenols and metals)
- Waste Water Washings from Coolant Drums,
- Waste Water Washings from Acid Drums and Degreaser Drums
- Waste Water from Floor Scrubber Water
Total volume of waste water 5.2m³/day
Waste Water Treatment / Effluent Treatment System supplied by CTECH:
Waste Water Treatment System CBS 750
OrganoSorb Column Filter
Savings Per Annum:
Previous Disposal Cost - £556,818/annum
Disposal Cost with PolyClay and OrganoSorb - £80,201/annum
Annual Savings Realised - £476,617
WASTE Haulier Company
Waste Water Treament Challenge:
- Waste water from washdown of dustbin wagons
- Waste water volume 8m³/day
-
Waste water contained:
- Oils
- Heavy Metals
- High C.O.D. and Suspended Solids
- Customer had issues with local water authority due to failing consent on their C.O.D and heavy metals discharge
Existing Waste Water Treatment System:
Company used a mechanical filtration/separation process
Bacteria growth cause the mechanical filtration/separation system to fail
Customer was receiving monthly fines and surcharges for failure to meet discharge levels. The fines were charged at £3,000 per item.
Waste Water Treatment / Effluent Treatment System supplied by CTECH:
Daily waste water volume reduced to 3m³ due to change to wagon cleaning method
Waste water treatment system CBS 750 installed
Single step treatment with PolyClay
Heavy Metals, oil, suspended solids, and C.O.D. now all meet waste water discharge consent limit to sewer
Cost Savings:
No further fines from the sewer company
Film Manufacturer
Waste Water Treament Challenge:Waste water from packaging film manufacture
- Waste water could not be treated with conventional flocculation methods
Waste Water Treatment / Effluent Treatment System supplied by CTECH:
Waste Water Treatment System CPS 10000 which included two Filter Press Units
Cost Savings:
Total savings of £325,000 per year
Paint Manufacturer
Waste Water Treatment / Effluent Treatment System supplied by CTECH:
- Waste water from paint manufacture
- Waste water volume 1,200m³/month
Existing Treatment Systems:
Three stage liquid polymer process that was not consistent with effective waste water treatment
Existing waste water treatment system had capacity issues
Unable to identify sludge de-watering system
Sludge hauled away and costs were increasing
Sludge clogged up in the sludge tank and settled in the haulier trucks adding to disposal costs
Sludge disposal cost increased
Sludge had to be cleaned out of flat bottom waste water treatment tank
Customer had been unable to find a filter press system that sludge did not stick to
Waste Water Treatment / Effluent Treatment System supplied by CTECH:
Waste Water Treatment System CPS 15000 which included two Filter Press Assemblies
PolyClay eliminated the tackiness of the sludge therefore providing excellent processing through the Filter Press units
Filter Press units produce 55% solids in sludge
Cost Savings:
PolyClay reduced C.O.D from an average of 15,000mg/l to 1,800mg/l
PolyClay reduced Total Solids from an average of 23,500mg/l to 1,800 mg/l
Labour costs reduced by 60%
Waste water treatment costs reduced by 43%
As PolyClay treatment produces a sludge which can be dewatered by a filter press the sludge disposal costs reduced by 74%
