What pH range is required for POTW discharge?

Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) discharge regulations under 40 CFR §403.5(b)(2) require a pH of 6.0–9.0; discharges below pH 5.0 are categorically prohibited as corrosive hazardous waste.

PRAB’s automated pH Adjustment Systems verify every batch against this range before releasing effluent, with automated pass/fail logging for every discharge event.
