Applications — Municipal & Public
Discharge limits are numbers. Meet them with numbers.
Pretreatment lives or dies on dosing — acid, caustic, coagulant — matched to an effluent stream that never holds still. The platform meters against measured flow, verifies in-line, and builds the discharge record as it runs.
The challenge
Where this application goes wrong today.
Effluent won't hold still
Flow and load change with every shift and washdown; fixed-rate chemical feed chases the average and misses the moments that violate.
Overshoot is expensive twice
Under-dose and risk the permit; over-dose and buy chemical to fix chemical. pH especially punishes coarse control.
The permit wants proof
Discharge programs run on documented compliance. Chart recorders and handwritten logs make weak evidence on a bad day.
The fix
Dose. Verify. Log. Repeat — identically.
Meter neutralization and treatment chemistry proportional to measured effluent flow, verify the result in-line, and record dose, reading, and fault continuously. Corrections track the stream instead of oscillating around it, and the log stands behind the discharge report.
- Flow-tracked dosing — chemical feed follows the surge, the lull, and the washdown in proportion.
- In-line verification — confirmation that treatment landed — continuously, not at the weekly grab sample.
- Discharge-grade records — time-stamped events aligned to the numbers your permit reports.
- Your treatment chemistry — acids, caustics, coagulants, and polymers from your program, qualified through the dosing path.
- Fail-safe alarms — faults stop feed and alert — no silent dosing into a stream headed for the outfall.
The chemistry
Permit chemistry, delivered in proportion.
Treatment trains are engineered per waste stream — neutralization pairs, coagulant and polymer programs, specialty chemistries. Those choices stay with your process engineer and permit. The platform qualifies the liquid concentrates you already use and delivers them with metered, verified, recorded precision, from bench-scale pilot rigs to plant integration through co-development.
Permit limits, monitoring requirements, and treatment-train design remain with the operator, their engineers, and regulators.
Common questions
Our pH control loop oscillates. Can this help?
Oscillation usually means dose steps sized to a flow that isn't measured. Flow-proportional metering feeds correction in proportion to the actual stream, which is the prerequisite for stable pH control; loop specifics are scoped per installation.
Does the record satisfy our pretreatment program?
The platform produces continuous, time-stamped dosing and verification logs; how they slot into your program's reporting is confirmed with your authority during scoping — evidence this granular generally strengthens a file.
Where would we start?
One stream — typically the one closest to its limit. An evaluation unit runs in parallel with existing feed, and the two logs make the comparison honestly.
