DEXSORB® Treatment Of Industrial Wastewater

Industrial metal plating operations face stringent regulatory oversight regarding process wastewater discharges, particularly as local municipalities establish aggressive municipal sewer limits for legacy target compounds. Because conventional chemical precipitation and coagulation systems focus primarily on heavy metal removal, high concentrations of complex organic contaminants often pass through untreated, exposing facilities to strict compliance violations. Installing specialized packed-bed adsorbent vessels configured in a dual-vessel lead-lag design provides a resilient secondary polishing step. Operating continuously under daily industrial production schedules for nearly two years without requiring media replacement, this configuration maintains reliable hydraulic flow and mitigates metal precipitation risks while achieving over 97% compound reduction.
