Waste Water Odor and Heavy Metal Problems

Various odoriferous gases like ammonia, mercaptans, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen dioxide could be generated from common waste water and effluent streams. Unfortunately, this results in pungent odors which are unacceptable to most parties in addition to being a health risk. Furthermore, waste water streams could also contain toxic heavy metals which could render it hazardous and pigments which could promote the build up of algae. This could result in complaints from the public as well as employees and lead to OSHA and EPA fines.

The Solution

WaterKlean™ Water Treatment Filtration Media was specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate many unpleasant odors found in waste water and effluent streams. It will eliminate odoriferous gases like mercaptans, formaldehyde, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, VOC's, and many, many more. Furthermore, WaterKlean™ will also remove a wide range of heavy metal and other cations such as Rb+, Li+, K+, Cs+, NH4+, Na+, Ag+, Cd+2, Pb+2, Zn+2, Ba+2, Sr+2, Cu+2, Ca+2, Hg+2, Mg+2, Fe+2, Co+3, Al+3, and Cr+3 under the proper conditions.

How WaterKlean™ Works

WaterKlean™ Water Treatment Filtration Media is a natural product that can be used to eliminate heavy metal contaminants and odors from waste water and effluents instead of masking them with fragrances. The molecular structure of WaterKlean™ is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives WaterKlean™ a large surface area of 40 m2/g and a cation exchange capacity of 1.85 meq/g. Furthermore, this product has a selective affinity for specific cations.

WaterKlean™ works through a process of ion exchange, absorption and adsorption. WaterKlean™ , which is negatively charged, draws in odoriferous gases and metal cations like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates them without smelly cover-ups. Regeneration of this product is also feasible.

Environmentally Friendly

WaterKlean™ Water Treatment Filtration Media is non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented, non-flammable, and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating heavy metals and odoriferous substances such as NH4+without adding pollutants to the air employees breathe. WaterKlean™ does not contain chemical additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.

Applications

WaterKlean™ Water Treatment Filtration Media can be effectively used in the following applications to eliminate cations and gases which could cause waste water and effluents to be hazardous, toxic, or odoriferous:

• Industrial Waste Water and Effluents
• Commercial Waste Water and Effluents
• Municipal Waste Water and Effluents
• Agricultural Waste Water and Effluents
• Swimming Pools

Directions

WaterKlean™ Water Treatment Filtration Media can be effectively used to eliminate the following cations and gases under the proper conditions. Rb+, Li+, K+, Cs+, NH4+, Na+, Ag+, Cd+2, Pb+2, Zn+2, Ba+2, Sr+2, Cu+2, Ca+2, Hg+2, Mg+2, Fe+2, Co+3, Al+3, Cr+3CO, CO2, SO2, H2S, NH3, HCHO, Ar, O2, N2, He, H2, CH2OH, Mercaptans, Freon

To use, install WaterKlean™ in filter according to the manufacturers recommendation and backwash prior to use. It can also be applied to ponds, effluents and over natural soils at a rate of 1/2-3 pounds per square foot. This product can be regenerated for reuse by backwashing with a solution of 10% sodium chloride.

Disposal

The unused WaterKlean™ Water Treatment Filtration Media are non-hazardous and environmentally safe. However, this will change if it is exposed to hazardous or toxic substances. Used Smelleze™ should be disposed according to all relevant local, state, and federal regulations
