Glen Russell, owner of Kontek, says, \u201cThe project also required us to process discharge wastewater to stringent EU limits with regards to heavy metals, COD\/BOD, and sulphate.\u00a0 The EU regulations for wastewater and sulphate discharge are far more stringent than Canada and the US. Discharge limits for heavy metals are about 75 percent lower, and BOD\/COD regulations for discharge are 50 to 85 percent lower than in North America.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Kontek had to work with the clients\u2019 engineering team to project pure water and wastewater generation volumes and chemical characteristic data, review legal discharge regulations, calculate process water volume and purity requirements, and submit a water and chemical usage balance.<\/p>
\u201cDuring the design and engineering phase, Kontek takes the lower discharge criteria into account and incorporates additional processes and technologies, process steps, and chemical treatment protocols with enhanced instrumentation and automation to control the treatment and recovery technologies,\u201d says Russell. \u201cWe also work with the client to develop SOPs and process line alterations for their operations that prevent the unnecessary drag out of process solutions into the rinse water for treatment and recovery to reduce the loading on the technologies.\u201d Working with multiple volumes and chemical characteristic scenarios, Russell says that several versions of the plant chemical and water balances were required as the client provided information on the chemical processes and the expected workloads being processed. Kontek had to calculate hourly\/daily drag-out rates for the process solutions and extrapolate the data into contaminant loading, into the rinses, and into its technologies for recovery and purification. It also put the data into its water balance programs\/calculations for the design and engineering of the systems for flow rates and capacity of the systems technologies for contaminant removal, and then adjust the capacities of the systems based upon the projections.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

But given the jurisdiction that planned project was in, the water had to meet much more stringent discharge limits. \u201cThe technology for clarification of the wastewater to be discharged required the suspended solids removal efficiency of a microfiltration system, as a conventional gravitational clarifier system would not guarantee the water would meet the quality required for recovery or consistently meet the discharge limits without further polishing technologies downstream,\u201d says Russell. \u201cSome concentrated wastes had to be evaporated and crystallized rather than treated and discharged (ZLD) due to high contamination levels. Through the use of organic absorbents (RSA) from our Moonstone division we had the capabilities to reduce the BOD\/COD levels in the discharged wastewater from certain wastewater streams.\u201d<\/p>
Kontek was awarded the contract for the design, engineering, manufacture, and supply for a completely integrated solution for the wastewater treatment, wastewater recovery, and source water purification requirements for the facility.

Since it was a greenfield project and the largest facility of its type, there was no empirical or historical data on the wastewater to be recovered and treated. Kontek had to work with the clients\u2019 engineering team to project pure water and wastewater generation volumes and chemical characteristic data, review legal discharge regulations, calculate process water volume and purity requirements, and submit a water and chemical usage balance.<\/p>
\u201cDuring the design and engineering phase, Kontek takes the lower discharge criteria into account and incorporates additional processes and technologies, process steps, and chemical treatment protocols with enhanced instrumentation and automation to control the treatment and recovery technologies,\u201d says Russell. \u201cWe also work with the client to develop SOPs and process line alterations for their operations that prevent the unnecessary drag out of process solutions into the rinse water for treatment and recovery to reduce the loading on the technologies.\u201d Working with multiple volumes and chemical characteristic scenarios, Russell says that several versions of the plant chemical and water balances were required as the client provided information on the chemical processes and the expected workloads being processed. Kontek had to calculate hourly\/daily drag-out rates for the process solutions and extrapolate the data into contaminant loading, into the rinses, and into its technologies for recovery and purification. It also put the data into its water balance programs\/calculations for the design and engineering of the systems for flow rates and capacity of the systems technologies for contaminant removal, and then adjust the capacities of the systems based upon the projections.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
