Rugged, cost-effective wastewater and process water treatment systems that boost the efficiency of metal production and processing facilities.
Metals (steel, aluminum) processing requires significant amounts of water for cooling, production and heat treating. These facilities produce process waters streams with high amounts of metals, oils & greases and other contaminants which are critical to address prior to recycling and reusing or discharging back into the environment.
Solutions
Our compact and efficient dissolved air flotation (DAF) technology excels in treating water streams with oils & greases, suspended solids and dissolved metals, meeting the requirements of processes such as:
-
Cooling water treatment
-
Caster spray water treatment
-
Rolling mill contact water treatment
-
Facility wastewater treatment
-
Raw water make-up systems
-
Progressive water extraction to extend retention time and improve effluent quality
-
Plate separators to maximize solid contaminant removal
-
A cross-flow design to promote better separation with a lower fluid velocity
Our WWW™ ArxZyme™ bioaugmentation and biostimulation products can meet the specialized requirements of primary metal manufacturing applications, offering solutions for settleability, upset control, odor control and more.

Case Studies
Railcar Bearing Manufacturer
A manufacturer of railcar bearings, wheels and axles needed a wastewater system upgrade to treat for oil, grease, suspended solids and dissolved metals in a mix of process water and storm water runoff.
Aluminum Casting Facility
The aluminum casting facility of a producer of semifabricated aluminum products utilizes a closed-loop contact water system that supplies water to multiple DC casting pits.
