New Coagulant Improves Water Quality
Our new coagulant significantly improves water quality. At Jenfitch we conducted a study at a potable water plant in Northern California. We significantly reduced all factors that contributied to the plants initial water quality. Using the standard jar testing method and filterability protocol (see attached “Jar Testing Procedure and Filterability Test Procedure-modified”), we found that feeding JC 1675 at 60 mg/l generated the most economical treatment to generate the lowest settled water turbidity...

LIFE Waste2Coag project aims to boost the circular economy in wastewater treatment plants
Nowadays, brines are mostly disposed of in the environment without treatment via discharge in water surfaces, sewers, deep-well injection, evaporation ponds and land application, or in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Desalination plants (DPs) inject brines into the ground, salinising aquifers, or they dilute the saline residue in the local WWTPs, affecting their biological process. The main environmental concerns in this scenario are: increased salinity in soil with negative impact in crops and receiving...
Aluminum monitoring for wastewater treatment
Aluminum salts can be used in wastewater treatment as coagulation agent and flocculant. However, because of its toxic effect on fish, it is important to remove aluminum efficiently before the treated water is released into the environment. Metrohm offers a solution to analyze the aluminum content both in the flocculant according to the newly revised standard ABNT NBR 11176 and in the treated water before discharge by adsorptive stripping voltammetry. This allows the monitoring of the aluminum content throughout...
