Water & Wastewater Treatment Applications & Process Experience
Monroe Environmental has extensive experience with a wide variety of applications and processes for water & wastewater treatment. Click on a pollutant or process below to learn more about our approach to treating these contaminants.
Suspended & dissolved solids removal is required for nearly every water treatment application across every industry. Many physical and chemical characteristics as specific gravity, rise/settling rates, particle size, and chemical composition must be evaluated in order to select the correct technology for solids reduction.
Chemical treatment is a commonly used in conjunction with clarification, separation, and filtration to enhance solids removal. It is often required to precipitate dissolved solids and/or form floc that will more readily settle within a given liquid stream.
Monroe Environmental specializes in gravity separation of solids from liquid streams and offers a variety of clarification and separation technologies such as:
- Circular Clarifiers & Thickeners
- Lamella Plate Vertical Clarifiers
- Horizontal Plate Clarifiers
- Plate Settlers
- Sludge Collectors
- X-Flo™ Mobile Clarifiers
- API Separators
- Custom Clarifiers & Separators
Contact a Monroe Applications Engineer to get assistance with selecting the correct technology for your application.
Monroe Environmental has supplied countless metals removal systems across a variety of industries using the following technologies:
Oil separation is a critical wastewater treatment step required in many applications and industries. The physical and chemical properties of the oil should be carefully evaluated in order to correctly apply the various treatment technologies that exist. FOG refers to “fats, oils, and grease” and is a common designation and regulatory target in the food industry.
Recovered oil often has residual value if it can be re‑used or re‑purposed in a secondary market. Therefore, “separation for waste” versus “separation for recovery” treatment objectives are evaluated according to different cost/benefit principles.
In some cases, oil separation can be accomplished simultaneously with solids settling, however this is not always the case.
Monroe Environmental technologies for oil separation, skimming, and recovery include:
- API Separators
- Circular Clarifiers & Thickeners
- Horizontal Plate Clarifiers
- X-Flo™ Mobile Clarifiers
- Belt Type Oil Skimmers
- Custom Clarifiers & Separators (including CPI Separators, DAFs, etc.)
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as TCE, DCE, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylene, xylene), and others are commonly found in groundwater, industrial wastewater, and other contaminated liquid streams.
Monroe Environmental utilizes the following for ammonia and VOC reduction:
Monroe Environmental offers mobile clarifiers and separators for these applications and any others where permanent installation is not feasible or desired. Our systems include:
