Treating oily wastewater can be costly and challenging, especially when considering budgets and local water authority regulations. Traditional chemical-based treatments often lead to excessive chemical usage, high sludge disposal charges, and other costs. There is a need for a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for wastewater treatment.
Ensuring compliance with all regulations is crucial for businesses of all sizes. Incorrect chemistry can lead to violations of agreed consent limits for your site, resulting in fines and penalties.
Even if your site is within consent limits, there is still room for improvement if the wastewater is misty or oily, as this can lead to added costs.
Why Choose Hydrex 6861 Plant Based Coagulant?
Hydrex 6861 is a plant based coagulant made from renewable tree bark. It's a cheaper, greener, simpler, and more efficient alternative to traditional metal-based coagulants like ferric chloride or polyaluminium chloride (PAC). Hydrex 6861 is suitable for any industry but particularly effective for oily or acidic effluents, such as food and beverage, oil and gas, and wastewater treatment.
Benefits of Hydrex 6861 Plant Based Coagulant
-
No Caustic Chemicals Needed
Hydrex 6861 works at a lower pH (4.5 to 7) than metal-based coagulants, eliminating the need for sodium hydroxide or other caustic chemicals to correct the pH before treatment. This simplifies the process, improves safety, increases mechanical capacity, and cuts costs.
-
Less Sludge Production with Greener Disposal
Hydrex 6861 produces up to 50% less sludge than metal-based coagulants, reducing disposal costs and carbon footprint. Its organic and biodegradable nature allows for more sustainable disposal options like composting or land injection.
-
Lower Dosage Rates
Hydrex 6861 is dosed at lower rates than metal-based coagulants yet produces the same results, leading to even greater cost savings and efficiency.
