    Octolig by MGI out of Colorado has a proprietary heavy-metals selective ligand binding resin that we looked at using for mine drainage (nickel mines). I know they have some plating waste stream experience, so you may want to give them a call to check your particular stream. (303)-833-1432...

    water filteration

    If he is using diatomaceous earth as the filter aid, it will be a costly system to operate! Check with your local regulators. Depending on the specifications of the filter, performance testing, selection of filter aids, and previous approvals you might be able to get away with it. In domestic...

    Dechlorination

    Sodium Bisulfite, very common in dechlorination operations. Typically (38wt% sol'n NaHSO3, 1.3 s.g.) stoichiometry is around 1.46 mg/mg. Rule of thumb would be to oversize the dosing requirements to account for poor mixing kinetics and non-ideal reaction parameters, 5-10% oversize (the...

    Cause of Well pump corrosion

    Hmmm. Without an analysis of what is in the groundwater it is difficult to say exactly what may be causing the corrosion. The type of pump and location of the corrosion are also helpful (i.e. length of contact period, specific areas, different metals which may act as a galvanic cell with an...

    Corrosion of Brass hydrant components in potash solutions

    I am trying to determine the most probable corrosion rates for brass hydrant components in a stagnant (treated, disinifected) water system. We are looking at a potash biocide treatment, with an estimated concentration od 100 to 150 ppm. Ideally the solution will be in contact (non-flowing)...
