  1. Water Hauling

    Comments Off on Water Hauling

    Industrial water pollution control is tightening as regulatory agencies are imposing more stringent requirements on industrial users.These regulatory laws are enforced to restrict the discharge of untreated wastewater containing oils, chemicals, metals, and contaminants that are destructive to the environment and people exposed to it.

    Proper disposal of wastewater is essential, but looking for a cost-effective solution can be challenging. For some industries, this results in hiring third-party water hauling companies to transport and dispose of their wastewater.

    The costs can be significant, especially for industries with difficult to treat wastewaters and for those companies located in remote areas. In many cases, hauling wastewater is more expensive than installing a water treatment system onsite as hauling wastewater requires trucks, drivers, incurred fuel costs, and could possibly take multiple trips per week based on your volume. With fuel and labor costs continually rising, finding a more cost effective solution is becoming more important than ever.

    Onsite Industrial Wastewater Treatment: A More Cost Effective Approach

    If you have been using a water hauling service from a third-party service provider, chances are your costs over the last 18 months have dramatically increased. Many factors can affect these costs. Apart from fuel and personnel wages, their high standard of treating the effluent to comply with the stringent environmental regulatory laws and public pressure plays a vital role.

    Regardless of the reason for the expensive costs of water hauling, you can expect these costs to keep rising due to the increasing water demand and limited supply. Fortunately, for most wastewaters, water treatment options are available for a more economical and efficient alternative.

    Treating Wastewater with Anguil Environmental Systems

    The Anguil team has over 40 engineers and technical personnel that are supported by another 70 operational and field service members to provide air and water treatment systems to meet your specific needs. Anguil is your single source provider to design, develop, integrate, install, and service your treatment systems to meet your regulatory or reuse requirements.

    Our Simple & Effective Approach

    Our project development steps are straightforward, focusing on your needs and decision criteria.

    The steps include the following:

    • Scope: We begin with project assessment, project ROI, benchmarking, and decision process and criteria.
    • Discovery: Lab testing refers to verifying the different treatment approaches and their efficacy, along with determining costs (CAPEX/OPEX) for each  treatment approach.
    • Test: If further validation is required, Anguil can provide pilot testing at our facility or even in-situ field testing at your location.
    • Implement: Once treatment efficacy and pricing has been agreed upon, the process begins. Anguil can design, build, integrate, install, commission and train your team on your new wastewater treatment system.

  2. Industrial Wastewater Solutions Overview

    Comments Off on Industrial Wastewater Solutions Overview

    Most industrial facilities produce some volume of wastewater, which can range from 1 gallon per minute to millions of gallons per day. To protect the soil and groundwater from contamination, industrial wastewater treatment solutions must be efficient while meeting environmental standards. Read on to learn more about industrial wastewater treatment processes and what options are available for your application.

    Industrial Wastewater Solutions Overview

    Industrial Wastewater

    To minimize the effects of highly contaminated wastewater on the environment, many industrial facilities have to implement wastewater pretreatment plants that treat industrial wastewater to acceptable standards for discharge to a municipal wastewater treatment plant or to the surface (into lakes or rivers). These pretreatment plants remove solids, VOCs, metals, fats oils, and grease such that the final effluent is compliant with local and national laws and regulations. Industrial facilities must also properly dispose of solids that the waste treatment process generates or removes.

    In the United States, total water use is estimated at around 322 billion gallons per day. Industrial applications use nearly half of that total. To ensure compliance with existing laws, facilities must adequately manage any organic and inorganic pollutants generated during production processes that might otherwise contaminate water supplies. Different kinds of wastewater contamination will need different strategies to facilitate the proper removal of contaminants.

    Industrial Wastewater Treatment Solutions

    The primary focus of most wastewater treatment solutions is to discharge wastewater in compliance with national and local regulations. The secondary goal is to be as cost-effective as possible in the treatment of wastewater.

    Anguil’s project approach has 4 distinct steps that lead to project execution. Project development entails understanding a client’s needs and respective decision criteria. Next, lab trials focused on meeting those criteria are executed in the Anguil lab. If conditions dictate, Anguil is prepared to do pilot testing at the client site. Through our lab and pilot testing, we can validate different technologies and treatment approaches to meet their needs, including capital cost (CAPEX) and operational cost (OPEX) comparison. If needed, we can provide automated options to reduce human involvement. We can even provide options for water reuse, ZLD (zero liquid discharge), or near-zero liquid discharge.

    The project execution phase could include fully engineered, build-to-specification, turnkey, and customized solutions. In lieu of new equipment, execution may be retrofits or system upgrades.

    At Anguil, our industrial wastewater solution capabilities include:

    • System Expertise
    • Equipment Alternatives
    • In-House Capabilities
    • Single-Source Responsibility

    Industrial Wastewater Treatment Solutions: Technologies

    Industrial wastewater solutions use a variety of technologies. The following are some of the materials these systems remove and the technologies used to remove them:

    • Dissolved metal materials can be removed through pH adjustment and clarification, ion exchange, and carbon technologies.
    • Fats and oils/grease can be removed with dissolved air flotation (DAF) and oil-water-separators.
    • Sludge dewatering happens when water is squeezed from sludge using filter presses, belt presses, rotary vacuum drums, and rotary screw presses.
    • Suspended solids are removed by cartridge filters, ballasting, parallel plate clarifiers, DAF, flocculation, and bag filters.
    • Soluble biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)/chemical oxygen demand (COD) is eliminated with MBBR, MBR, anaerobic, anoxic, bioreactor, and oxidation treatment.
    • Total dissolved solids (TDS) are the measurement of the total dissolved amount of organic and inorganic solid materials present in wastewater. Reverse osmosis, ion exchange systems, and nanofiltration facilitate the removal of TDS.
    • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are often present in wastewater, requiring removal via air stripping, granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption, or oxidation.
    • Ultra-pure water requires the removal of minerals and other contaminants from relatively clean water. Reverse osmosis (RO), deionization (DI), ion exchange, ultrafiltration (UF), and microfiltration are a few technologies that can be leveraged to create ultra-pure process waters.
