Hazardous Waste Water Goes Down the Drain

Hazardous waste water can be disposed of in the sewer, or used elsewhere, after being cleaned by a system that removes both organic and inorganic waste streams down to a level of parts per trillion.

For pharmaceutical companies this brings big savings in contaminated waste water disposal, and also means the water can be reused where appropriate.

The Sentinel aqueous effluent treatment system from WMEC limited is used worldwide to decontaminate organic and inorganic waste in volumes ranging from as little as 20 litres, up to 50,000 litres per day.

It uses a process that breaks the chemical bond between active materials and water, called flocculation, followed by sedimentation and adsorption so that clarified water can be separated from contaminates.

The equipment is easy to operate at all skill levels and is designed to pay for itself within a year, with some companies reporting a return within two months on alternative disposal costs.

The Sentinel is part of the WMEC range of treatment systems that handles virtually all waste effluent problems including pH correction, in volumes ranging from 20 to 400,000 litres per day. The company operates in 38 countries worldwide in industries that include pharmaceutical, food, engineering and agrochemical.

Re-Using Contaminated Water

Water contaminated by pesticides or herbicides can now be returned to the land, or be re-used in washing applications.

This is made possible with a new decontamination system called the BioBucket which is designed for the treatment of up to 5,000 litres of dilute pesticide. It also absorbs oils, fuels and grease from implement washing.

The cost of dispersal by certified handlers can be saved, and the routine difficulties in disposing of contaminated water are overcome.

The BioBucket comes from Chichester-based, WMEC Limited, a world leader in effluent treatment, and uses an adsorption and biological breakdown system.

It automatically takes waste from the users own storage tank or sump, then passes it through the treatment process, before releasing it for reuse or disposal.

WMEC has a range of treatment systems capable of handling virtually all waste effluent problems. It operates in 38 counties worldwide and across most industries including food, engineering, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical.

Re-Using Contaminated Water – Small Users

Water contaminated by pesticides or herbicides can now be returned to the land, or be re-used in washing applications.

The new treatment system that makes this possible through decontamination, is called the BioBucket and comes from Chichester-based, WMEC Limited, a world leader in effluent treatment.

The cost of dispersal by certified handlers can be saved, and the routine difficulties in disposing of contaminated water are overcome.

The BioBucket is part of the WMEC range of treatment systems that handle virtually all waste effluent problems. The company operates worldwide across most industries including food, engineering, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical.

The BioBucket offers a form of treatment for the producer of relatively small amounts of dilute pesticide. It uses an adsorption and biological breakdown system to reduce the loading and then an adsorption final polish.

The system works automatically taking waste from the customers storage tank or sump.

British Company Cleans Up French Agriculture

Preventing pesticide contamination of water courses has helped a British company break into the French market by winning approval from the wine and apple industries.

Independent tests by two French laboratories on pollution control equipment manufactured by WMEC Limited showed contamination is cut by 99.98%. This follows similar tests by the banana industry in Martinique which resulted in 99.994% decontamination.

Over 38 countries now use WMEC waste treatment systems in both the food and industrial sectors to handle organic and inorganic waste, and pH correction, for volumes ranging from 20 to 400,000 litres.

The French market is an important breakthrough for the Chichester-based company because of the vast size of its agricultural sector. It also establishes a strong foothold in Europe where the issue of environmental contamination is of growing importance amongst member states. The Environmental agencies and The Drinking Water Inspectorate are concerned about the slow build-up of pesticides and point-source contamination.

The particular model tested was the WMEC Sentinel aqueous effluent treatment system which can decontaminate organic and inorganic waste in volumes ranging from as little as 20 litres, up to 5000 litres.

It uses a process that breaks the chemical bond between active materials and water to allow for flocculation and sedimentation so that clarified water can be separated from contaminates. This includes all pesticides along with highly toxic organic contaminates and heavy metals.

Treated water can then be disposed of in a number of ways, subject to regulations applicable in the particular country. These range from disposal back to the land, or into foul sewer systems, or for re-use in washing applications.

The equipment is easy to operate at all skills levels ranging from small farmers to major chemical companies and is designed to pay for itself within a year. The Sentinel can be fixed or mobile, and operates across world voltages, even by gas engine and 12v DC battery.

Typical applications include treating and washing unused diluted chemicals from crop spraying; the washings from laboratories and chemical plants; removal of dyestuffs and pharmaceuticals, and other organic process materials.

The Sentinel is part of the WMEC range of treatment systems that handle virtually all waste effluent problems. The company operates worldwide in most industries including food, engineering, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical.

Answer to Unreliable pH Screening

System for pH correction solves major problem in food processing industry

With many pH correction methods inherently unreliable, a leading treatment manufacturer has a fully automated pH correction system that offers 24 hour unattended operation and allows treated water to go direct to drain – or be re-used.

The pH Guard from Chichester-based WMEC Ltd. is a complete pH adjustment package that will treat high flow rates up to 60,000 litres/hour, whether intermittent or variable, and also water with significant levels of suspended solids.

Being an automated process it eliminates the inaccuracies and cost of labour-intensive manual systems. Alternatively, it will save the high cost of on-site storage and subsequent disposal by liquid waste contractors.

The WMEC pH Guard can be ‘in-line’ process where the water to be treated passes through the unit and needs no intermediate reaction vessels or using a reaction vessel. It senses and manages the dosing of both acid and alkali to neutralise incoming pH conditions to within the limits set.

Chemicals are drawn directly from standard IBCs or permanent feed tanks and independent flow and pH alarm circuits shut off chemicals or discharge automatically.

The pH Guard is built of chemical resistant materials and components and occupies just three square metres of floor space. It is part of the WMEC range of treatment systems that handle virtually all waste effluent problems. The company operates worldwide in most industries including food, engineering, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical.
