pH adjustment tank through the fabrication, sandblast/primer process.  Finish product is the far-right picture.  This is one of twelve tanks custom built for the same customer.  Customer has production facilities throughout the world.

Westlake Environmental offers a series of chemical pump cabinet options

Cabinets are superior in design in that:

1. Each pump is fully contained
2. Each pump is in a housing that is resistant to sulfuric acid as well as caustic
3. Front cover door is an acrylic or Lexan material that drops towards you when opened
4. Each pump includes a dedicated electric disconnect switch
5. Each pump has a series of isolation valves for quick servicing/removal of pump
6. Pumps are offered in a series ranging from one to six enclosures

Our Solution:   Provide a single skid Inclined Plate Clarifier (IPC) system to remove solids from a waste stream.  System is ideal for granite facilities and stone fabrication plants.

System includes:

1. Chemical Addition System and Inclined Plate Clarifier in A36 carbon steel material on a common skid for quick and easy installation
2. AOD sludge pump as well as an AOD effluent chamber transfer pump
3. Air assembly systems for both AOD pumps
4. OSHA ladder and platform to witness the internals of both tanks
5. Sludge auger to convey sludge to a common discharge point.  Very efficient system
6. NEMA 4X control panel to control all electrical devices included with the system
7. A series of 120V outlets for customer to control additional electrical devices

Our Solution:   Provide pH adjustment tank prior to a Dissolved Air Flotation system to automatically adjust the pH of the water.

Tank includes:

1. Tank is polyethylene material
2. 16” inspection port and 2” drain
3. Individual level switches for automatic transfer pump control
4. pH control systems to monitor the pH of the water and automatically activate chemical dosing pumps

Our Solution:   Provide a Dissolved Air Flotation system in 304 stainless steel material, which was necessary to handle the low pH of the water.  NOTE:  There is also an Oil Water Separator in the background currently under construction.

System includes:

1. DAF in 304 stainless steel material
2. 304 stainless steel air header system
3. Integral recycle pump

Oil Water Separator is carbon steel material with robust industrial paint coatings, exterior color is safety blue.
