The Perfect Mix: Exceeding Guidelines and Reducing Costs in Wastewater Treatment

Case Study

An aluminum packaging manufacturer faced non-compliance with local and state wastewater treatment regulations due to high fluoride levels in its discharge. The influent fluoride level was 60 ppm, while the discharge limit was 15 ppm. Additionally, the manufacturer needed to reduce manganese levels and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in its wastewater. Their current supplier could not meet these requirements, prompting them to call Hubbard-Hall for a solution.

Hubbard-Hall’s expert technicians conducted a comprehensive evaluation, including an audit and a physical examination of the wastewater system. They performed “jar tests” to simulate the water treatment, ensuring accurate recommendations.

  • AquaPure CAL 225: Successfully reduced effluent fluoride levels from 15 to 7 ppm or less, simplified flocculation, and led to over $25,000 in chemistry savings.
