Waste Neutralization

W2 Systems has been designing and building industry leading waste neutralization equipment for some of the top semiconductor and life sciences companies today. If you’re in such an industry, then you know that the wastewater produced by semiconductor fabrication can be rife with a range of harmful chemicals, such as, arsenic, salts, alkalis, acids, solvents, antimony, and other pure organic and inorganic compounds. If the goal is to simply dump the leftover waste, it can’t be done while remaining in accordance with the EPA’s specifications without an adequate wastewater neutralization system. Industrial wastewater neutralization systems are sometimes referred to as pH neutralization systems—this is because the goal when implementing waste pH neutralization is to take the alkali and acidic wastewater streams and mix them together thoroughly until the wastewater is closer to a base pH and ready to be dumped entirely. If the pH of the wastewater is not within an acceptable range, then additional chemicals will have to be added to ensure the wastewater reaches a desirable pH level.

 

After years of experience, we have come to design the high-quality systems used today by utilizing leading technologies and new, user-friendly wastewater pH adjustment designs. Beyond providing the latest and greatest technology, we also pride ourselves on offering expert technical support. We offer an exceptional line of systems to fit your every need! Regardless of the amount of waste that requires daily neutralization, we have a wastewater neutralization system perfect for the job. And whether you require the most flexible design, something capable of fitting in the smallest possible space, or the most advanced technology available today, we’ll go through the various options with you to determine which systems will be best for your current operation.

Control System and Power Supply

The control system monitors the solution pH in each compartment and actuates and controls the caustic or acid feed systems. Course and/or fine feed depends on how far the batch pH is from the setpoint value.

The effluent pH is indicated and recorded, and local alarms are actuated if the pH falls outside the setpoint limits.
