Met-Chem 100 Gallon Laboratory Batch Waste Water Treatment System

For low volume wastewater applications, 0-400 gallons per day, we suggest utilizing our Samsco Thermal Evaporation System or our Poly Products Flow Through Evaporation Systems. However, in some applications evaporation is not an option. This can range from not having the room available, to not being able to permit the air discharge, and finally due to MOC issues. In these situations we would recommend a traditional Batch Waste Water Treatment System with the Met-Chem 100 gallon Laboratory Batch Waste Water Treatment System.

In laboratories, particularly those dealing with chemicals and various waste streams, effective wastewater treatment is crucial to meeting discharge standards. Laboratories generate a wide range of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The Met-chem Batch Waste Water Treatment System, specifically the 100-gallon batch treatment model, is an ideal solution for these needs.

The batch system has the capability to treat for metals, cyanide, chrome, TSS, BOD, and other pollutants. The batch treatment style ensures proper treatment of the waste solution prior to sending it down the drain.

How the Met-chem Batch Treatment System Works

The 100-gallon Met-chem laboratory batch treatment system follows a straightforward but effective process for treatment of waste water:

Collection: Wastewater is collected in a 100-gallon tank, ensuring that all laboratory waste streams are captured and contained.
Chemical Treatment: Specific chemicals are added to the wastewater to neutralize harmful substances and facilitate the removal of contaminants. The exact chemicals used can be tailored to the type of waste being treated. This traditional entails acid, caustic, polymer, and/or a coagulant
Filtration: After chemical treatment, the water is filtered via a Met-Chem filter press to remove suspended solids.
Discharge: Once treated, the water can be safely discharged or reused, depending on the laboratory’s needs and local regulations.
