UPGRADE OF WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Phoenix was engaged to improve the liquid waste management program at a specialty organic chemicals manufacturer. The plant generated significant quantities of hazardous liquids for off-site disposal. A wastewater inventory and sewer survey was used to identify significant wastestreams generated in each production campaign and determine the best management system. Wastewater segregation, off-site disposal, pretreatment, and direct discharge were evaluated. Treatability studies were performed on mixtures of product wastes combined to simulate various production campaigns. PHOENIX prepared process designs and cost estimates for pretreatment and direct discharge.
