Acid Waste Neutralization Systems for Safe Wastewater Treatment
Chemwest designs and builds acid waste neutralization (AWN) systems ranging from small point-of-use installations to systems designed for multiple tools and flow rates. Our system can be configured for either batch or continuous flow neutralization. pH sensors monitor incoming waste to determine what chemistries must be added to ensure the specified balanced output.
Key Components of Our AWN Systems
Chemwest’s AWN systems utilize advanced pH sensors to monitor incoming waste streams and automatically adjust the neutralizing agents to maintain a safe and compliant discharge.
- pH Sensors & Monitoring: Continuously track wastewater acidity and alkalinity to determine precise chemical adjustments.
- Automated Chemical Dosing: Injects neutralizing agents in real-time to balance pH levels.
- Batch or Continuous Flow Options: Customizable to specific operational needs, whether handling large volumes or point-of-use requirements.
- Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Built with durable, high-performance materials to withstand harsh chemical environments.
- Effluent Compliance Control: Ensures treated water meets local and federal environmental regulations.
