Over the past 3 years, Jacobs has worked hard to achieve 100 percent controllable compliance on their
effluent stream to help protect and preserve the West Branch of the DuPage River.
The draft mandate for ZLD in the Iron & Steel sector is an impetus for it to adopt recycling and reuse of
effluent stream, thus creating market opportunities for ZLD.
Based on their findings, struvite precipitation is an efficient approach of wastewater treatment as it reduces both Phosphorous and Nitrogen contents from the
effluent stream to fulfill the legislation and regulations set by the region.
First, the design of a reactor operating at high temperature: it implies the use of small amounts of catalyst (low contact time) and consequently a reduced size reactor to achieve high conversions of methanol (approximately 100%, Figure 6); however, there is a need for subsequent purification steps in the hydrogen stream to compensate for a large amount of CO in the
effluent stream (Figure 7).
The effect of industrial
effluent stream on the groundwater.
One of the by-products from the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process is an
effluent stream rich in organic acids and alcohols.
A by-product of this process is a highly concentrated (approximately five times the concentration of the source) brine
effluent stream that must be disposed in some environmentally safe manner.
The brewery has also invested in recycling and re-using water which previously would have gone down the drain into the
effluent stream, he added.
Micromac's DAF unit injects a coagulant and flocculant into the
effluent stream in order to coagulate the particles.
What may begin as a vapor may form particles as the
effluent stream cools.
The biomass will be treated using anaerobic digestion, which will convert it to recyclable products by using bacteria in an oxygen-free environment to produce biogas and a liquid
effluent stream containing solids (raw fertilizer.) The biogas, similar in nature to natural gas, will be used in gas engines to generate electricity for sale either into the grid or direct to the host site.
