Case Study
A Wastewater Solution for a Large Print Manufacturer
Saving Costs and Helping the Environment
Introduction
This large print manufacturer needed to replace an existing three stage liquid polymer process which was proving to be inconsistent and causing numerous problems such as capacity issues, sludge being clogged up in the tank along with being settled in the haulier trucks, sludge having to be cleaned out of flat bottom wastewater treatment tanks which in turn was causing production delays and increasing disposal costs.
What We Did
- PolyClay reduced total solids from an average of 23,500mg/l to 1,800 mg/l. Labour costs reduced by 60%
- PolyClay reduced C.O.D from an average of 15,000mg/l to 1,800mg/l
- Wastewater treatment costs reduced by 43%
