Situation

An aluminum can factory sought to adapt the effluent from its treatment plant for reuse and reduce the volume of sludge and incrustations in its pipes, as well as to replace the lime in its physical-chemical process, since this was the one that generated the largest amount of sludge (433.9 tons/year on average).

Solution

To produce a good quality effluent in terms of hardness and fluoride, and to reduce the volume of sludge produced, the lime was replaced with a Nalco coagulant. In addition, Nalco Water installed 3D TRASAR™ technology to achieve the proper pH and minimize variations during the coagulation process.
