Wastewater Treatment Systems - Overview

Waste Reduction Strategies

KOCH meets the toughest challenges in wastewater treatment by combining engineering innovation with field-proven answers. An effective waste reduction strategy takes into consideration many factors, including:

• Initial fixture design to achieve minimal drag-out and lowest chemical usage
• Nozzle positioning for optimum rinsing and minimal overspray
• Inter-zone drainage for reduced contamination and overflow
• Counterflow rinsing for maximum efficiency, lowest practical water use
• Optimizing rinse efficiencies through cycle management, nozzle pressure adjustment and other factors
• Closed-loop D.I. Rinsing
• Aqueous cleaner recovery
• Oil separation to preserve cleaner life
• Chemical feed requirement
• Chrome reduction and precipitation
• Sludge handling alternatives
• Operating costs
• Capital investment
