Corporate Waste: Turning Dirty Water into Treasure (and Clean Water!)

Imagine a company struggling with waste. Their valuable metal ends up dissolved in water, creating hazardous waste they cannot dispose of easily. This is where Rejuvetech comes in.

The Problem: Our client was stuck with “dirty water” containing a valuable metal which they needed to recycle because of the cost of the process economics. The “dirty water” was classified as hazardous waste, making disposal expensive and risky.

Rejuvetech’s Green Solution: Selective precipitation chemistry facilitated the separation of the metal from the water and remaining compounds. A specifically identified reagent combined with the metal, allowing it to be filtered away, leaving the water safe and clean for discharge. The combination of organometallic and green chemistry lead to an inherently sustainable and cost-effective solution.

Specific Benefits to the Client:

  • Tailored chemistry: Rejuvetech is not a one-size-fits-all solution, we designed a bespoke set of conditions, specific to the metal and water composition in question to determine the unique solution required to solve the challenge in question.
  • Safe and Sound: Using a series of suitable reagent(s) of low toxicity meant that the process was much safer than the original disposal methods.
  • Energy Efficient: by avoiding increased energy disposal requirements of the existing disposal method(s).
  • Cost Effective: The process designed was cheaper overall by saving on the costs of disposal but also allowing for the re-use of the valuable metal feedstock and thus eliminating repeat purchase costs.

The Rejuvetech Difference:  We are not just about solving problems; we’re about doing it sustainably and efficiently. We have an arsenal of green chemistry tools, and we know how to pick the perfect one for each challenge. So, if you are facing a similar environmental or waste issue, please do not hesitate to contact us.
