    Looking for recycler of waste nitric/sulfuric acid stream

    Concentrating looks like a good idea. Why go to the expense of neutralization when it may be just as cost effective to concentrate and sell it?

    Looking for recycler of waste nitric/sulfuric acid stream

    No. Is is a waste product generated from a wet flue gas treatment process where NOx and SOx are converted to acid.

    Looking for recycler of waste nitric/sulfuric acid stream

    I'm looking for a company that may be interested in obtaining a constant supply, in the tens of thousands of gallons, of a 2% nitric/6% sulfuric acid wasterwater stream. Any leads would be appreciated.

    Generic WWT Design Basis for Different Scenarios?

    Thanks but this wikki page only discusses technologies capable of scrubbing SO2. I'm interested in treatment of the liquid effluents.

    Generic WWT Design Basis for Different Scenarios?

    I've been given a difficult task. I am a chemical process engineer and not a wastewater engineer. I don't know where to start. We are a startup with a specialized wet process designed to scrub flue gasses in, primarily, the power industry. I have been tasked with coming up with a generic...

    Wastewater Mercury Removal?

    Thanks to both of you. I believe this gives me the information that our management team desires.

    Wastewater Mercury Removal?

    I am looking for a process to remove mercury chloride from wastewater streams generated from the treatment of flue gas at a coal fired plant. Are there any known processes and should the mercury in this wasterwater stream even be an issue? I don't have any concentration data and am looking at...

    Equilibrium Software Recomendation

    I'm a process engineer who's new to the power industry. I will in the future need to model the chemical equilibrium for the combustion of coal/NG and possibly fuel oil to be used in the design of a proprietary chemical process for the control of criteria pollutants. I'd appreciate a...

    Zero Pressure Drop vs. Time in Monitoring Well. What does it tell me?

    Thanks for the help. I came into this late and I don't have any of that info. I will though investigate why this additional data was not collected.

    Zero Pressure Drop vs. Time in Monitoring Well. What does it tell me?

    I've always been an air guy so this is new to me. I'm trying to determine negative pressure for a low flow (10 to 30 cfm) SVE system. Pilot data show zero pressure drop vs. time in the monitoring well (25 ft from extraction point) except fo an instantaneous drop of 1 in. H2O at the initiation...

    Need Insulation Recommendation for Record Protect Products

    All, I have been given a mandate to upgrade our current record (paper & computer media) protection products. We'd like to eliminate the ovens that we currently use for drying our wet castings. We currently use gypsum in our products and have done so for many years. Our business is a high...
