With the increasing awareness of the effects of water-borne pollution
on the environment, and the tightening up by both legislative
and enforcement bodies throughout the industrial world, the need
for innovative and cost-effective solutions to wastewater treatment
problems has never been greater.
Since 1985 Chemisolv has provided a specialist service, evaluating each wastewater stream from first principles. Its individual chemistry and contaminants are taken into account and a unique 'Custom Blend' product and/or programme is developed for virtually every customer, utilising existing technology and, where necessary, developing completely new product concepts.
Many companies have turned to Chemisolv to provide effective treatment programmes for wastewater streams, which were either consciously left untreated for economic reasons, or considered to be essentially untreatable, or a combination of both.
In some cases, the wastewater stream was classified as untreatable simply because it failed to respond to the standard, established treatment approaches, for example with conventional coagulant and flocculant products.
When called upon to investigate the treatability of a wastewater stream, Chemisolv's experienced chemists and technolgists conduct a thorough system survey, which includes the wastewater treatment plant and the processes which contribute to and create the waste products. This is an essential step in understanding the chemistry of the total system and, hence the capability of the existing wastewater treatment plant to handle those streams.
The next stage is to conduct extensive and exhausting bench-top evaluations on site, using a variety of test equipment which could include multi-gang jar stirrers, dissolved air flotation test kit and sludge dewatering tester. This would be repeated on several separate occasions to ensure that as many system variables as possible are encountered.
With all this information collated, the chemists at Chemisolv's own laboratories then develop and formulate the products and programme considered to provide the most cost-effective solution to the customer's problem.
Chemisolv can, if required, carry out an intensive investigation
of this nature, purely on a consultancy basis, the fees for which
are normally agreed beforehand.
Chemisolv works closely with a number of international engineering companies who specialise in wastewater treatment systems and, as a result, has developed considerable expertise in the areas of DAF and Biological Effluent Treatment.
As the correct implementation of any treatment programme is dependent upon the chemical dosing system. Chemisolv pays particular attention to the design and selection of the metering pumps, storage vessels and control equipment for every programme. In recent times, this approach has been expanded to include the development and installation of fully computer-controlled dosing systems, with software written to match individual customer needs.
Chemisolv's wide range of expertise makes it the ideal company
to provide the chemical treatment input on any turnkey wastewater
project, throughout industry.
Chemisolv has considerable experience of wastewater problem solving
in all major industries, including pulp and paper, steelmaking,
hydrocarbon processing, food processing and textiles.
So, if you have a problem that appears to be untreatable, or simply
are looking for the most cost-effective answer -
