Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Turnkey modular systems and full-scale on-site plants — designed, built, installed and started up by SSI.

SSI designs and builds treatment systems for industrial wastewater, process water and landfill leachate — from pre-treatment ahead of a sewer discharge to complete treatment plants. Depending on the site, flow and schedule, we deliver either turnkey modular systems or full-scale plants installed on site.

Two ways to implement

Skid-mounted wastewater treatment module with tanks, pumps, filter housing and blower

Turnkey modular systems

  • Process modules built in skids or modified shipping containers
  • Fully integrated and factory wet-tested before shipping
  • Plug-and-play: set, connect and start
  • Minimal field work and a shorter schedule

Full-scale on-site implementation

  • Complete plants inside a new or existing building
  • Clarifiers, filter presses, tanks, piping and controls
  • SSI-managed installation, start-up and operator training
  • One team from design through commissioning

Treatment processes

pH & chemical conditioning

Acid/caustic neutralization, flash mix and flocculation with ferric and polymer feed.

Clarification

Inclined plate (lamella) clarifiers for solids removal.

Solids dewatering

Plate-and-frame filter presses and sludge handling.

Filtration & carbon

Automatic-backwash multimedia filters, bag, cartridge and carbon polishing.

Ion exchange

Selective resin systems, such as boron removal, with automated backflush and regeneration.

VOC & metals removal

Air stripping and iron removal.

Project spotlight: boron & metals removal

For a groundwater remediation project, SSI supplied a complete skid-based plant to remove boron and metals from water pumped from 28 extraction wells. Every skid arrived fully plumbed and pre-wired with its own PLC control panel, keeping field integration to a minimum.

  1. Well field28 well pumps on networked VFDs; manifold with a flow meter on every well
  2. Aeration & pHAerated inlet tank with pH monitoring
  3. ClarificationStainless clarifier with flash mix and flocculation chambers
  4. FiltrationFour multimedia sand filters with automatic backwash
  5. Boron resinResin vessels with pH and conductivity monitoring and automated backflush
  6. Solids & residualsRegeneration and disposal tanks, filter press dewatering

Hydrochloric acid, ferric chloride and sodium hydroxide are dosed from dedicated chemical feed skids. Each process skid has local hand-off-auto control and connects to a master control panel by a single Ethernet cable, so operators can monitor and run the whole plant from one screen — or remotely by telemetry.
