MultiTreat™
The MultiTreat™ family of products are designed to combine multiple treatment steps into a single product. The most popular variants perform de-emulsification by flocculation and/or absorption then create an excellent filtering result. MultiTreat™ is also offered in grades that remove dirt, debris, and oil from commercial cleaner baths without affecting the soap activity allowing the soap to be recycled. Other grades will completely defeat the soap and contaminates yielding clear water. One MultiTreat™ grade removes the residual resin from impregnation rinse water. Another MultiTreat™ grade treats vibratory waste water by breaking the soapy emulsion, removing the abrasive debris, and removing the small amount of heavy metals that go into solution in the acid step. The MultiTreat™ product line is exceptionally valuable in low volume difficult waste streams.
TCN's MultiTreat™ is used to treat wastewater from a vibratory finishing operation. The wastewater is highly emulsified, has about 500 ppm oil and grease, is loaded with grit and metal shavings and has a soluble heavy metal contaminate that is slightly above regulatory limit. The MultiTreat™, a single bag filter aid to defeat the emulsion, adsorb the oil and grease, precipitate out the heavy metal, and flocculate the sludge so that it filters at the rate of 1.5 gpm per square foot of filter area. The filtrate has turbidity of less than 1 NTU, the soluble heavy metal is removed along with the oil and grease. Filter cake is roughly 40% dryness and can be disposed of as a non-hazardous waste. The MultiTreat™ requires no monitoring so the system operates in full automatic and without operator attention.
TCN's MultiTreat™, a single bag product, is used to treat wastewater from a vibratory finishing operation. Wastewater is highly emulsified, has about 1000 ppm oil and grease, and is loaded with grit and metal. The MultiTreat™ defeats the emulsion, adsorbs the oil and grease, precipitates out the heavy metal, and flocculates the sludge so that it filters at the rate of 1.5 gpm per square foot of filter area. The filtrate has turbidity of less than 1 NT U and contains no oil and grease. Filter cake is 55+% dryness and can be disposed of as a non-hazardous waste. Since the TCN chemical requires no monitoring, the system operates in full automatic and without operator attention.
TCN's MultiTreat™ is used to treat wastewater from a vibratory finishing operation. Wastewater is highly emulsified, has about 3000 ppm oil and grease, is loaded with grit and metal. The MultiTreat™ is a single bag chemical that defeats the emulsion, adsorbs the oil and grease, precipitates out the heavy metal, and flocculates the sludge so that it filters at the rate of 1.5 gpm per square foot of filter area. The filtrate has turbidity of less than 1 NT U and there is no oil and grease. Filter cake is 50+% dryness.
An auto parts manufacturer has several wash stations in their manufacturing process. These washing operations are required for coating preparations, manufacturing oil removal and packaging preparation. The detergents are different for each operation. TCN’s MultiTreat™ removes the solids, oil and grease and other contaminates from the detergent without affecting the active chemistry. The detergents are recycled. Detergent costs went down by 90%.
This plant makes steel siding panels for industrial buildings. Coil steel is sent through a seven bath treatment train in preparation for stamping and coating. The chemicals in the bathes are on a constant 1 gpm refresh and waste maintenance process. All 7 waste streams are combined and treated with TCN's MultiTreat™ DM filter aid prior to final dewatering in an automatic pressure filter. TCN's filter aid provided bag solution to an otherwise complex treatment which used two hazardous chemicals, $600K in capital equipment and an expensive manning requirement. TCN's technology is non-hazardous, low cost and used in a completely automatic system costing under $100K. The Filtrate meets local discharge regulations and filter cake is disposed of as a non-hazardous industrial waste.
TCN's MultiTreat™ is used for processing the wastewater from the impregnation operation. This wastewater is contains dilute impregnation resin and dispersants. The single bag TCN MultiTreat™ filter aid defeats the dispersants and coagulates the resins so that treated wastewater filters at a rate in excess of 2 gpm per square foot of filter area. The filtrate is free of dispersants and resin and can be discharged. The TCN chemical requires no monitoring so the system operates in full automatic and without operator attention.
This wastewater comes from the wash down of a small animal lab. The water is highly variable, full of soap and other debris. The wastewater contains mercury. The discharge limits are extraordinarily tight for heavy metals. TCN's MultiTreat™, a single bag filter aid, demulsifies the soap, adsorbs the organic component and removes metals down to the single digit ppb range. The system filters at a rate of 1 gpm per square foot of filter area. The MultiTreat™ requires no monitoring so the system operates in full automatic and without operator attention.
TCN's MultiTreat™ is used to treat wastewater from a vibratory finishing operation. The wastewater is highly emulsified, has about 500 ppm oil and grease, is loaded with grit and metal shavings and has a soluble heavy metal contaminate that is slightly above regulatory limit. TCN developed a MultiTreat™ grade, a single bag filter aid to defeat the emulsion, adsorb the oil and grease, precipitate out the heavy metal, and flocculate the sludge so that it filters at the rate of 1.5 gpm per square foot of filter area. The filtrate has turbidity of less than 1 NTU, the soluble heavy metal is removed along with the oil and grease. Filter cake is roughly 40% dryness and can be disposed of as a non-hazardous waste. The TCN chemical requires no monitoring so the system operates in full automatic and without operator attention.
TCN MultiTreat™ filter aid is used on the wastewater from the manufacturing of and industrial energetic. It is loaded with a soluble heavy metal. The MultiTreat™ defeats the emulsion, precipitates the heavy metal sequestering it into the solid phase and flocculates the feed for high speed filtration. The treated water filters at rate of 1.5 gpm per square foot of filter area, the filtrate passes for drinking water standards and the filter cake passes TCLP even though it contains enough heavy metals to be considered ore quality. Due to the explosion risk from the manufacturing process, this system operates completely unattended for days at a time.
TCN MultiTreat filter aid treats membrane system concentrate from a surface water treatment system. The feed is treated with a heavy metal chelating agent and has serious seasonal fluctuations. The filtrate must meet strict discharge limits for clarity, heavy metals, pH and organics. The plant experienced intolerable foam generation from a seasonal foliage event. The MultiTreat™ provides complete and reliable treatment across the entire spectrum of seasonal changes. Treated and filtered water is less than 1 NTU in clarity and free of soluble contaminates. pH is maintained at the proper point and foaming is eliminated. All accomplished with TCN’s MultiTreat™ single bag solution. The MultiTreat™ requires no monitoring so the system operates in full automatic and without operator attention.
