Water Treatment System FAQs

How do I pick a water treatment system that best suits my application?

You can start sizing the system by asking these questions:

  • How much water do you need to treat in 24 hrs?
  • Do you discharge to sewer or will you recycle the water?
  • What will you remove from the wastewater?

SEE offers several water treatment systems to meet your needs.

  • Biological (BIO) Treatment Series can be used either as a discharge or closed loop system. Microbes consume constituents in the wastewater turning them into carbon dioxide and water.
  • Mechanical Filtration (WLP & WCP) Series uses sand filtration to remove particulates down to 25 microns. A cartridge filter may be added to filter to 30 microns.
  • Water/Oil Separator (WOS & WCL) Series uses oil attracting (oleophilic) media that separates the oil and floats it to the surface where an oil skimmer sends the oil to a decanter for easy removal.
  • Electro-Coagulation Flocculation (ECF) uses aluminum rods along with electricity. The electricity passes between the rods and contaminates in the water are charged and coagulate with the free metal ions from a sacrificial anode, thus neutralizing the contaminates in the waste stream. This system is used in applications where metal removal is needed.
