Some companies may not know this, but a Treatability Study, conducted by effluent treatment technicians, can optimize your treatment process, bringing economic results by extracting the maximum possible operational efficiency from your process. Below we show the possibilities for gains in your operating expenses in existing processes:
A treatment plant that is in operation can operate properly using more chemical inputs than necessary, because the surplus applied in the treatment process will not necessarily have a negative impact on the final quality, but it will bring unnecessary expense. The aim of the Treatability Study is to determine the optimum point required for the chemical destabilization of particles in order to produce floc formation. In general, studies are conducted testing various coagulants, such as organic and synthetic polymers, metal salts and pre-hydrolyzed metals based on aluminum and iron. The logic behind a Treatability Study is quite simple:
The entire Treatability Study can be carried out in up to 3 months, as some more complex or organic compounds require special attention – it’s not a rule, but we know it happens.
The EP Group, which has been operating in the process market for over 50 years, shares with its customers the challenges faced by all through government regulations at the federal level such as CONAMA or local state agencies such as CETESB-SP, INEA-RJ, IAP-PR, etc., which regulate the quality required for the discharge of effluents into receiving water bodies or sewage systems.
