With an average of 525 wastewater tech consults per year, our Aquapure technicians have seen a thing or two! Beyond providing recommendations around chemistry or maintenance updates, how can that benefit you?
For many years, powdered lime has been utilized in treating wastewater successfully. As new chemistry technologies arise, the downside of lime has become prevalent. There are several options now available to replace lime with benefits. They include but are not limited to: safer handling for employees, cleanliness of facility and less mechanical equipment necessary.
Membrane Filtration
New high efficiency filtration technologies referred to as membranes are fast becoming common final solids removal in wastewater treatment facilities. Membranes can produce super clean effluent water, yet the upstream process and chemistry must be carefully selected. The benefit of using membranes is a reduction in maintenance time, thus reducing a facility’s overall down time. Proper care results in reduced cleaning frequencies and membrane fouling issues.
In the AquaPure product line, our team’s go-to products are: AquaPure ACM and AquaPure MFT.

The Challenge
Established in 1981, our client manufactures 60,000 – 70,000 pounds of screws daily that are carried in Lowe’s and Home Depots nationwide.
Not surprisingly, the philosophy of this market leader is one of continuous improvement. However, sometimes changes for the better also have consequences. When the company went to a new acid- pickle bath pre-treat system on its paint line, the result downstream was far too much zinc in its wastewater effluent.
The Approach
We led a team of wastewater treatment experts through a process that began by going on-site and tank side. “There’s nothing like being there to get to the bottom of things,” says Hubbard- Hall’s David Joyce, “I pulled a sixteen-hour shift. Nobody went near thatclarifier. It ran crystal clear that day.”
