An automotive manufacturer needed a wastewater solution to meet discharge permit requirements, reduce water usage, and improve water recycling capabilities. To meet the manufacturer’s water usage reduction program goals, our team provided engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for the pretreatment filtration, ion exchange, and ultraviolet light (UV) systems that enabled effluent reuse.
An ion exchange system treats the high metal ion content of three industrial wastewater streams and produce water that could be used as reverse osmosis feed supply and cooling tower supply water. Following the ion exchange treatment, the wastewater is diverted into a reuse water storage tank. This water is then recycled into the plant non-potable water system and used for cooling tower supply water. This treatment system has been reducing the metal ion content to levels that meet discharge permit limits, and the ion exchange system has been recycling non-potable water that was previously being trucked off site.
