Industrial wastewater – Ensure it is free of heavy metals

Check your manufacturing waste before disposing

In the last two years, companies in Asia have been fined for disposing of used industrial waste tainted with chemicals and heavy metals into the waters. In Vietnam, fish carcasses washed up on the beaches of Hà Tĩnh, many fishermen lost their livelihoods and needless to mention about water safety. While these companies have received fines, it is fair to say that waste management affects the public and ecosystem.

Malvern Panalytical supports companies with analytical solutions which ensure socially responsible disposal of used industrial water. Here are some solutions: 

• Prevent heavy metals from getting into your process: Careful in-bound QC checking for heavy metals using our latest Epsilon 4 benchtop EDXRF.
• Monitor factories’ effluent streams:  On-line monitoring of your wastewater for heavy metals before disposing into the environment using Epsilon Xflow. Enabling immediate counteractions to prevent environmental damage.
• Treating water with contaminants: Add the right dosage of coagulants by carefully monitoring the zeta potential of particles during your flocculation and sedimentation process. See how our Zetasizer WT was used to treat ash from a fire in Canada’s waters. Click here
