Flexible Packaging Manufacturer Cuts Pollutant Concentration by 50% with Innovative SAMCO Wastewater Treatment System Upgrade
Flexible Packaging Manufacturer Cuts Pollutant Concentration by 50% with Innovative SAMCO Wastewater Treatment System Upgrade
Upgrade WWTS per compliance guidelines and improve pollution prevention (P2) efficiency in treating for complex contaminants, including: Oil and grease, Heavy metals, Suspended solids & Starch paste -SAMCO delivered a WWTS upgrade to minimize waste, reduce contaminant loads, and scale to accommodate future needs. The innovative design incorporated source segregation, allowing the plant to recapture materials for reuse and recycling and reducing wastewater discharge by 30%. The concept proposed a range of treatment processes including heavy metals precipitation, suspended solids flocculation, clarification, dewatering, and biological treatment. By efficiently targeting treatment to isolated streams, the upgrade plan reduced pollutant concentration by 50%.
