81. Treatment Of Produced Water By Electrocoagulation 2/10/2016

    Produced water (PW) is salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. It subsists under high pressures and temperatures, and usually contains hydrocarbons and metals. Therefore, it must be treated before being discharged to surface water. Different techniques are being used to treat PW through phase separations, system control and design, and chemical treatments. In this paper, we discuss our experimental results on treating PW through electrocoagulation (EC).

82. Electrocoagulation Examined For Waste Treatment At Copper Mine In South America 1/31/2016

    An international mining company was looking at electrocoagulation for waste treatment at a copper mine in South America. A sample from ore processing was provided for bench-scale testing.

83. Electroplating 1 (CrVI, Ni, Zn, Cu) 1/27/2016

    XXXX Plating Company operates a decorative plating shop in Los Angeles, Ca., doing finishes in nickel, copper, and chromium.

84. Milk Waste - BOD, FOG, PO4 1/26/2016

    A milk producer operates an evaporated milk production facility that generates an average of 58,000 gpd of contaminated water with spikes of 1,200 gallons up to 12 times per day. Two 2,000 gallon batch tanks are used for pH adjustment before discharge. Most of the flow goes through the tanks.

85. Boat Hull Cleaning 1/26/2016

    A major U.S. waste management company provided a sample of wastewater generated by an underwater ship cleaning operation. The sample was to be tested in the KASELCO laboratory for removal of copper and zinc and for improvement of clarity (suspended solids removal). Customer is interested in treating 50GPM.

86. Foods - Biochemical Oxygen Demand And Chemical Oxygen Demand 1/25/2016

    A food manufacturer in Washington state had a source of well water contaminated with vegetable and fish oils. A five gallon sample was was sent to Kaselco for testing via our electrocoagulation process.

87. Chromium Treatment 1/12/2016

    A U.S. light aircraft manufacturing company uses an alkaline cleaner followed by an alkaline de-smutter, rinse, acid de-smutter (possibly using potassium permanganate), rinse, alodine, and a final rinse. The three 1,700 gal rinses are dumped approximately once each week, or more often, based on the pH.

88. AnoxKaldnes MBBR Proves Effective At Asphalt Refinery 1/7/2016

    A refinery needed to upgrade the wastewater treatment system to prepare for expected changes brought about by the use of a new crude feedstock with elevated concentrations of TDS and conductivity. Veolia Water Technologies supplied an AnoxKaldnes Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) treatment system to reduce the BOD and ammonia in the effluent.

89. The Power Of Bundling: BIOSTYR® + ACTIFLO® 1/7/2016

    In 1998, Onondaga County signed an Amended Consent Judgment with the State of New York to significantly increase the level of treatment at its Metropolitan Syracuse Wastewater Treatment Plant (Metro).

90. Electroplating 2 (Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cd) 1/4/2016

    A California electroplater offers a number of finishes including nickel, EN, chromium, chemfilms, copper, cadmium, and zinc. They formulate most of the plating chemicals used in the plant, including the electroless nickel baths.
