Water Treatment at Processing Plants
The Problem
Many companies in process industries create various hazardous pollutants as by-products
of their process, like contaminated water or solid waste. Government regulations
prohibit companies from soiling the environment with these wastes. Unless the wastes
are disposed of properly, there is a high risk of polluting the surrounding groundwater.
The Solution
Chemical companies, in particular, recover their process water and treat it at on-site
water treatment facilities. The AMETEK LevelMate III Level System provides a simple and
inexpensive solution for monitoring
and controlling the water tank
level during treatment.
The LevelMate III is also used to
test wells specially drilled around
the plant to monitor and control
groundwater pollution, aquifer level, and feel water supply. This final part of the total water treatment system verifies that none
of the waste has, in any way, leached into surrounding groundwater.
