Metal Precipitation Wastewater Treatment Overview

Primary function of the wastewater treatment system used in industrial facilities is to remove or reduce the high-level contaminants in the waste stream from being discharged to local sewer systems or the environment. Local, state and federal government have imposed regulations on the waste discharge of industries. Such regulations come of the Clean Water Act passed by the federal government; most local and state governments adopt these laws and may impose separate regulations. Noncompliance to local, state and federal regulations can result in series financial or legal consequences.
