Can PRAB pH systems remove heavy metals from wastewater?

Yes. In metal-bearing wastewater streams, raising the pH to the appropriate level causes dissolved metals to precipitate as metal hydroxides for downstream removal. PRAB systems support metal hydroxide precipitation as part of the standard batch neutralization cycle, helping facilities meet both pH and metals discharge limits simultaneously.
