Key Site Applications
Featured Applications
Condensate from gas collection systems is an ongoing problem for landfill operators. While great strides have been made over recent decades, more can be done to treat landfill condensate for discharging to the sanitary sewer system and to explore treatability of the wastewater for potential reclaim and/or reuse scenarios. Learn how combining the OxyShark® high-purity oxygen process with an anaerobic pre-treatment can be an effective way to reduce biological landfill contamination and allow for the use of some or all of the water to be discharged to sewer in our case study.
The Alabama Gulf Coast is well known for supplying quality seafood to consumers around the world. Because of its massive levels of water usage, the seafood processing industry brings with it a need to use water efficiently throughout its processes.
One such member of the industry is a seafood processing plant that supplies shucked and packed (processed) oysters to restaurants, hotels and other fine dining establishments within the United States. This company has been in business for a number of years, but due to more stringent environmental regulations that were recently introduced, the plant began to fall behind in complying with the latest standards. In order to address these compliance issues, the facility sought after and evaluated options to meet regulations, such as relocating the facility, wastewater treatment system options, etc.
Retrofitting Your Current Application
OxyShark® is a flexible and versatile tool that can be added to existing sites or developed as an operation on its own. Many sites that produce wastewater have been in operation for quite some time, and a long-standing operation often means outdated methods of wastewater management. Space, manufacturing and adaptability all become major concerns when considering implementation of a new wastewater treatment system.
OxyShark®’s unique retrofitting capabilities efficiently address all of these concerns. An OxyShark® system’s modular design can be adjusted to meet even the most stringent space constraints, even if a site has been in use for a long period of time. This flexibility permits OxyShark® to grow with a business, as the system can be enhanced to meet the specifications of any most applications. All of these capabilities come together to create a system tailored to the specific needs of your operation.
In addition to these key applications, OxyShark® is also the perfect alternative for any business or facility interested in the following:
Cost Management
Depending on the size of a business and its location, the cost of discharging large amounts of water can be exorbitant. In some cases, OxyShark® circumvents a city’s sewer usage costs by treating wastewater for reuse or direct discharge, allowing operations to avoid costly sewer fees that can arise due to the toxicity level.
Furthermore, when wastewater is treated by municipal systems, the waste-producing operation is subject to variance in costs depending on a wide array of natural and economic factors. OxyShark® provides the user with the option to reuse the effluent water, which can provide substantial savings by eliminating the need to use water from other sources.
Regulation Compliance
For any business, facility or firm attempting to maximize productivity and growth, regulations on water cleanliness and discharge can slow down progress and, in some cases, bring an end to certain operations entirely. In many cases, these regulations can seem crippling, as they require a variety of standards to be met. That’s where OxyShark® comes in. OxyShark® offers any operation the benefit of wastewater treatment.
Because OxyShark® is aerobic and biological, there are no chemicals or mechanics to be monitored and adjusted. This clean process means OxyShark® meets compliance qualifications in a variety of different situations. Whether a school is failing to meet water discharge treatment standards or a food processing plant needs to manage the wastewater it produces, OxyShark® is versatile enough to meet and exceed numerous regulation standards faced across a number of industries.
Environmental Initiatives
As companies continually strive to use less energy, to take advantage of environmental incentives and to care for their geographical area, finding environmentally sound products becomes a prominent concern. Many operations treat wastewater with chemicals or empty wastewater straight into municipal sewer wastewater systems, which can lead to damaging effects on the environment and public infrastructure.
To combat this dilemma, the OxyShark® team developed a biological treatment option, meaning no chemicals are used in the water treatment process. A chemical-free process allows OxyShark® to operate in an efficient manner without wasting resources or harming the environment. Once wastewater makes its way through an OxyShark®, the effluent water is fit for reuse or direct discharge to many streams. Whether an operation reuses or discharges the treated water, the environment will benefit from this type of treatment.
