PROCEDURES & PRODUCTS
The treatment of waste streams with Cleartreat® products is usually done in a batch system. The waste water is placed
in a vessel and the desired Cleartreat® formulation is added.
Application rates range from 0.5% to 2.0%.
Agitation follows for about 1 to 2 minutes. The mix is then allowed
to stand for another minute or two then agitated again for another
minute.
Once at final rest, the mixture rapidly
separates with the agglomerated solids falling to the bottom and
clear water toward the top. The clear water and solids are then
separated, generally using a deep bed filter process.
The clean water is then reused or sewered. The
solids or sludge can then be disposed of in a manner appropriate for
their characteristics.
Below is an abbreviated list of some of the
Cleartreat products and the waste streams they treat.
