Automated pH Adjustment Systems Treat Industrial Wastewater

and Comply with POTW Discharge Regulations

Automated Acid Neutralization Solutions for Every Industry

PRAB’s industrial pH adjustment systems are ideal for metalworking, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and more applications. With precise pH monitoring and control, our systems effectively handle fluctuating pH levels in wastewater, safeguarding equipment and enhancing product quality.

From acid neutralization systems for metal plating to automated pH control systems for manufacturing processes, our solutions adapt to your operations for consistent results.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensures wastewater meets discharge standards, reducing fines and environmental impact.
  • Cost Savings: Optimized chemical dosing and automation lower labor and chemical usage.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Real-time data tracking and precise changes improve treatment reliability.
  • Custom Engineering: Tailored to handle high-flow operations or compact installations for small-scale industries.
  • Durable Construction: Built for longevity, handling corrosive environments with ease.

pH is a critical parameter in wastewater treatment, representing the measure of free acidity or alkalinity in water. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14, where a pH less than 7.0 indicates an acidic solution and a pH greater than 7.0 denotes a basic (alkaline) solution. The process of pH change involves neutralizing acids with alkaline agents such as sodium hydroxide or neutralizing bases with acids like sulfuric acid.

For industrial wastewater treatment systems, maintaining the correct pH balance is important to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and to protect the integrity of downstream processes. Achieving this requires a dependable and automatic pH monitoring and adjustment system that delivers precision and consistency in real time.

PRAB’s automated pH adjustment systems offer advanced solutions tailored to specific flow rates:

  1. Continuous pH Adjustment Systems: Designed for higher flow rates exceeding 10 gallons per minute (GPM), these systems provide seamless and ongoing pH monitoring and correction, ensuring the treated water consistently meets discharge compliance requirements.
  2. Batch pH Adjustment Systems: Ideal for lower flow rates, typically under 10 GPM, these systems treat wastewater in discrete volumes, making them perfect for facilities with variable discharge needs or smaller operations.

Why Automated pH Adjustment Matters

Before wastewater effluent is discharged to a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) or sewer system, its pH must fall within a specific range to meet stringent regulatory standards. Automated pH neutralization systems play an essential role in achieving this by continuously tracking and correcting pH levels, which delivers several key benefits:

  • Precision and Reliability: Minimizes the risk of overfeeding or underfeeding pH adjustment chemicals, reducing chemical costs and ensuring optimal performance.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensures effluent consistently meets discharge pH requirements, reducing the risk of fines or penalties.
  • Operational Efficiency: Streamlines system performance, allowing for more efficient wastewater treatment operations.
  • Reduced Labor Costs: Eliminates the need for constant manual tracking, freeing workers to focus on other critical tasks.

PRAB’s automated pH adjustment solutions are engineered to enhance wastewater management processes, providing industrial facilities with dependable tools to meet their environmental responsibilities efficiently and effectively. Whether you run a high-flow or low-flow system, PRAB’s tailored solutions ensure compliance, cost savings, and streamlined operations.
