Wastewater from metal finishing industry set for more regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released its preliminary 2014 Effluent (liquid waste or sewage discharged into a river or sea) Guidelines Program, which outlined more regulations for wastewater from those within the metal finishing industry. A filter press has been a long-trusted solution for treating metal waste, even for those applications that are difficult to ...

Case Study - KIA E-Coat Wastewater and Treatment Process
KIA Automotive uses a water-borne Electrodepostion (E-Coat) paint process that produces various wastes including rinse waters containing Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni) & phosphorous (P) waste. Most of the waste is found in the rinse waters from the e-coat overflows that contain less 1000 mg/l TSS. Some of the “dumps” contain detactified paint waste concentrate in small quantities. The various ...

50 GPM Parallel Plate Clarifier for raw water treatment at a chemical manufacturing plant
Challenge A chemical manufacturing company needed to clarify surface water that was being drawn from a local creek for use as a cooling agent in their manufacturing process. The existing system was 30-years old, corroded, and not very adept at handling solids after separation from the water. Space requirements were a limiting factor in the installation. Solution Monroe sent an engineer to the ...

How Does a Plate Settler Clarifier Work?
When’s the last time you thought about the purity of your drinking water? Probably not recently, as we often chug down this essential form of hydration without giving much thought to how it came to be. You can thank handy water treatment systems, one that utilizes a plate settler clarifier (also known as a lamella clarifier) to ensure clean water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. ...

Separation of solids and disinfection for agronomical use of the effluent from a UASB reactor
The present work addresses the preparation of the effluent from a full-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor for drip irrigation of orange crops. The pilot plant included a lamella plate clarifier followed by a geo-textile blanket filter and a UV disinfection reactor. The clarifier operated with a surface load of 115 m3m−2d−1, whereas the filter operated with 10 ...

Groundwater Remediation Case Study
Wastewater Treatment Success Stories Groundwater Remediation This sample is representative of the ground water that contains diesel fuel from years past. The facility currently uses traditional coagulation/flocculation prior to carbon filters. The objective is to reduce the organic load to the carbon filters to extend life of the carbon filter. The treatment was performed with the addition ...

Horizontal Plate Clarifiers Treat Power Plant Stormwater - Case Study
Challenge A coal fired power plant needed an upgraded stormwater treatment system to properly deal with high levels of coal ash (from coal pile run-off), solids, and oil prior to discharge. The plant had previously collected run-off and stormwater into in-ground basins that were then pumped through a coalescing (CPI) oil/water separator. The ash and other solids in the stream plugged the ...

Monroe Clarifier provides cost-effective expansion of manufacturing capacity via wastewater reclamation and re-use
Challenge A PVC resin manufacturing plant was looking to expand its operations without purchasing additional water supply, a limiting factor in the expansion decision. In order to do so, the plant had to clarify and re-use the process water that was being discharged from a centrifuge. This wastewater contained PVC fines that had to be removed before the water was suitable for re-use. Solution ...

Controlling Sludge in Lamella Clarifiers
This month we are focusing on the control of sludge blanket build up in Lamella Clarifiers. Lamella Clarifiers, also known as Inclined Plate Separators (IPS) are in common use at Waste Water Treatment Sites as small footprint plant settlement units and are often employed in place of conventional settling tanks. Controlling Sludge Blanket Build up Effluent enters the Lamella Clarifier via an ...
