Summary
Hazardous wastewaters generated by chemical production, manufacturing, mining and other industrial activities can cause substantial harm to human health and to the environment.
There are several treatment technologies in use to limit these negative effects. However, these technologies do not solve the issue for good. The sludge that is left over after the treatment is still hazardous and has to be stored in costly controlled landfill deposits for indefinite period of time.
Improper hazardous waste storage or disposal frequently contaminates surface and groundwater supplies. Continuing accumulation of hazardous waste is increasing the risk of leakages that threat the wildlife as well as the safety of our drinking water.
Finnish SME Global EcoProcess Services Oy has developed, patented and tested a simple new technology that enables to remove metals from the wastewater completely, so that just purified water and solid metals are left after the process. Both are reusable in manufacturing as valuable raw materials.
The SMEI project focuses on speeding up our sales and piloting processes. We will develop and build portable pilot equipment for efficient on-site technology demonstrations and test the new equipment and process together with actual customers.
