Key Benefits include:

Through this project, Altela provided a cutting-edge solution to help the client, a metal manufacturing facility, meet regulatory requirements and significantly reduce operational costs. The project involved implementing a customized treatment system that efficiently removed heavy metals and other contaminants from the plant’s high-mineral wastewater stream. The solution not only enabled the facility to achieve full compliance with environmental regulations but also allowed the recovery of valuable resources from the wastewater for reuse.

Efficient Contaminant Removal

The advanced electrocoagulation system successfully removed over 95% of heavy metals and particulate matter from the wastewater stream, ensuring it met strict discharge limits.

Water Reuse and Resource Recovery

With our membrane filtration system, the client was able to recover up to 75% of treated water for reuse in production processes, significantly reducing freshwater consumption.

Regulatory Compliance

The solution ensured the facility complied with all local and federal environmental regulations, avoiding penalties and enhancing its environmental stewardship.

Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency

By reducing water and chemical consumption, the client saw a 30% decrease in wastewater treatment costs, along with improved system efficiency through automated monitoring and control systems.

Project Details

The project involved treating wastewater produced from metal fabrication processes that contain a high concentration of heavy metals, salts, and other contaminants. Altela designed and installed a custom electrocoagulation and membrane filtration system tailored to the client’s needs. The system featured real-time monitoring capabilities to ensure peak performance and compliance with regulatory standards.

In addition to contaminant removal, Altela’s solution focused on sustainability by enabling water reuse and reducing the overall waste produced by the facility. This helped the client align with sustainability goals and improve resource efficiency, allowing them to recover both clean water and reusable metals from their wastewater stream.

Altela’s project execution was completed within the agreed timeline, with minimal disruption to the client’s production processes. The installed system continues to deliver ongoing cost savings and operational benefits, with regular maintenance and remote monitoring provided by Altela’s support team.
