Automotive Industry Wastewater Treatment

Ecologix provides comprehensive wastewater treatment technologies and services for the automotive industry, including E-Coat paint processes. To learn more about a specific Automotive wastewater treatment application, call on one of our Professional Engineers, schedule a consultation or request a budgetary proposal for your specific requirements.

E-Coat Paint Process

Automotive manufacturers use a water-borne Electrodepostion (E-Coat) paint process that produces various wastes containing Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni) and Phosphorous (P). Most of the waste is found in the rinse waters from the e-coat overflows that contain less 1000 mg/l TSS. Some of the “dumps” contain detactified paint waste concentrate in small quantities. The various combinations of the waste create a unique treatment challenge.

At the Equalization Tank various wastewater streams are blended and homogenized. Treatment is accomplished by using a physical/chemical process - raising the pH of the wastewater to the minimum solubility of the combined metals, adding coagulants and flocculant(s) to enhance settling. The separation of the solids from the clean water is accomplished using a large lamella plate clarifier. Solids settle into a cone type hopper and the effluent flows to a multi-media filter for further polishing. pH is readjusted to permitted discharge levels and the water is discharged to the city sewer or optionally recycled for internal use.

The images here are from the wastewater treatment facility built by Ecologix for KIA Motors at their facility in West Point, Georgia. The system includes EQ tankage, chemical feed pumps, reaction tanks, a 300gpm lamella clarifier, tertiary filters, sludge dewatering filter press, and various mezzanines and catwalks for service access.

Dairy, Meat, and Poultry Wastewater Treatment

Ecologix provides comprehensive wastewater treatment technologies and services for every facet of the dairy, meat and poultry industries. From preliminary screening of grit or feathers, to physical/chemical separation and sludge management, we will help bring your facility into compliance with local wastewater discharge permit requirements.

Dairy and meat processes generate wastewater with similar characteristics. They each contain high levels of TSS, FOG, and BOD. In these types of facilities, cities collect surcharges based on discharge loadings. Sometimes these surcharges can reach tens of thousands of dollars per month. When municipal wastewater treatment facilities are unable to handle fluids from industries, cities can terminate discharge permits, forcing businesses to figure out a solution or shut down their plants.

In such cases, a wastewater pre-treatment system is the best option. By applying a chemical/physical separation process, facilities can completely remove TSS, FOG and high concentrations of BOD. When properly designed, a pre-treatment system will help bring effluents into permissible levels for discharge to the city sewer.

Pre-Treatment Plant Design

A pre-treatment program is focused on reducing contaminants that result in surcharges - for dairies and meat processors, that means removing TSS, FOG, and BOD. The video to the left shows a pre-treatment facility based on Dissolved Air Flotation technology.

Pre-treatment systems are sized by daily flow and hours of operation. For a facility that produces 60,000 gallons per day of wastewater, they could process their wastewater at roughly 42gpm, 24 hours a day. Sometimes it makes economic sense to process the daily wastewater in half the time - 80gpm for a 60,000GPD flow. Finding the balance between capital and operational expenses is the key.

Ecologix Environmental Systems custom configures a full treatment system that can screen and treat the wastewater to discharge levels that meet or often exceed local municipal requirements.

BIO-CLEAR Packaged Treatment Plant

The Bio-Clear packaged sewage treatment system is designed for developments like hospitals, hotels, and rural communities that are required to treat wastewater to levels suitable for discharge.

The multi-stage treatment process includes screening, diffused aeration, clarification, sludge recirculation, sludge digestion, filtration, and disinfection. Pre-engineered modular components such as diffused air blowers, aeration tanks, sludge holding tanks, clarifiers, and disinfection units allow for the package plants to be sized specifically for the customer's application. Systems are designed to handle a range of influent flows and consistently reduce TSS and BOD to <20mg/L.

Pre-Treatment systems for wastewater from municipal, industrial and commercial sources

Pre-treatment removes materials that can be easily collected from raw wastewater before it damages or clogs pumps and skimmers of primary treatment clarifiers. Ecologix offers an extensive line of pre-treatment solutions made to extend the life of your wastewater treatment solution. See our products below, or call us for assistance in selecting the pre-treatment solution fit for your project needs.

Screens

Ecologix provides industrial grade filter screens for a wide array of applications. Whether you’re separating feathers and grit in the poultry industry or bottles and bags from municipal waste streams, Ecologix can deliver the appropriate screening equipment for your needs.

Oil/Water Separators

Oil water separators are an efficient method of treatment in a variety of industrial and municipal applications. Removing anything from vegetable oil to diesel fuel, our oil water separators are versatile and reliable in providing the treatment you need.

Cone Filters

Cone Filters are used to catch and filter any type of debris from a waste stream. A variety of mesh screens are available to remove micron-sized particulates as well as larger, 1/4' sized particles. The cone filter ha
