Description
Metalworking fluids are
complex mixtures of chemicals that can be a significant contaminant burden to
the receiving environment if not effectively waste-treated. Proper wastewater
treatment is a requirement of many companies’ sustainability goals and ESG scorecards.
Along with the challenges of treating the fresh or essentially unused
metalworking fluids, the used fluids can accumulate additional contaminants
adding even more challenges for disposal. These additional contaminants are
metals, tramp oils, metal cleaning solutions, and floor cleaners. This webinar
will discuss wastewater disposal discharge requirements for users of
metalworking fluids in the United States. It will then discuss several methods
of wastewater treatment such as basic thermal evaporation, chemical treatment,
membrane separation, vapor compression distillation, and finally waste oil
recovery.
