Acidic wastewater flows into the neutralization tank or basin, and the water is neutralized with an agent such as sodium hydroxide or calcium carbonate rock media. The neutralized wastewater then leaves the tank to discharge into the sewer system in compliance with local, state, or federal regulations.

The neutralization process occurs through a chemical reaction between the acidic waste and calcium and magnesium carbonate. The degree of neutralization can be measured by the pH system, which determines the concentration of hydrogen ions.

When the acidic wastewater comes into contact with neutralization media, a neutralization reaction occurs.

Neutralization Media: The neutralization process occurs in this area. Our high-grade media is a natural material with a size of 1–3″ and a high calcium carbonate equivalent content of over 95%. For waste that contains predominantly sulfuric acid, we recommend a dolomitic limestone media containing a high percentage of magnesium carbonate in addition to calcium carbonate.

Access Covers: Gas-tight access covers are built to withstand vehicle loading

Vent: Releases air pressure and prevents the buildup of harmful gases.

Sampling Basin: A sampling port allows for periodic testing of the wastewater’s pH level.

pH Sensor Probe: The pH sensor probe is easily accessible for periodic inspection and cleaning.

pH Monitoring Panel: Control interface continuously records the effluent’s pH level and alerts the operator when it is out of compliance with regulation.
