Which Throws the Harder Punch in Metal Finishing Wastewater Treatment: Chemical or Biologics?

|

As a metal finisher, wastewater brings many issues that you have to face: sludge removal, total suspended solids (TSS), fats, oils and greases (FOG) and biological and chemical oxygen demand (BOD/COD).

But is chemical removal or biological removal better for your operation? Or maybe it is a combination of the two for the knockout punch?

Chemical removal has a long track record of proven success and is readily available, cost-effective and affords ease of operation.

Biological removal is used as a final polish to achieve permit limits and reduce disposal costs. These microorganisms work under aerobic and anaerobic conditions with no caustics or acids as to not cause harm to pipes or wastewater equipment.

During this webinar, you will learn about how to implement a total wastewater system that will ultimately have you using less chemistry.

Agenda: 

  • When would you use chemical vs biologics for wastewater treatment — or can you use both?
  • Who should consider using biologics for wastewater treatment?
  • What do you need to know about maintaining a biologic system?
