Treating Metal Contaminated Wastewater Streams with HySEP®

Removing heavy metals from wastewater streams is critical to protecting environmental and human health. Typical metals include Lead, Arsenic, Copper, Chromium, Cadmium, Nickel and Mercury. These metals are found in wastewater as a consequence of the production and manufacturing process for a wide range of goods and materials.

Hydroflux has completed numerous metal removal plants for industrial manufacturers using physical chemical treatment with polishing stages as well as the associated solids handling plant.
