A centralized waste treatment facility in west Michigan had growing concerns regarding pending regulation for emerging contaminants like PFAS in their plant operation’s discharge. The Michigan department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) could issue new stipulations, detrimental to their existing discharge permit, in order to reduce the harmful “forever chemicals” in their reclaimed wastewater. The facility contracted Clear Water Services to perform a water characterization and treatment feasibility study to determine whether there was a solution that would prevent a major loss in their wastewater marketshare. Using water samples taken from their ongoing plant operations discharge, Clear Water Services determined a solution designed to sequester PFAS and eliminate the contamination from the wastewater. The approach comprised a four-phase approach. A PLC based system control unit monitored the water at each treatment stage to ensure optimal efficiency throughout operation. The control system also logged key datasets to help the client understand water quality metrics in real time.
