Operators Unlimited

Every wastewater project comes with its own unique challenges.

Operators Unlimited recently assisted with the decommissioning of a textile mill wastewater treatment plant in North Carolina. The facility was transitioning from operating under its own NPDES permit to discharging directly to a municipal treatment system.

The project involved:

• Two one-million-gallon basins
• Sludge removal and disposal
• Environmental compliance requirements
• A restrictive budget and limited site footprint

To complete the project, Operators Unlimited implemented a phased approach that included facility assessment, environmental planning, sludge dewatering, operational staffing, and ongoing project monitoring.

As the project progressed, it was discovered that the basins contained significantly more solids than originally estimated. Working closely with the client, the project scope was adjusted and additional dewatering technology was introduced to keep the project moving forward.

The result was a successful project completed through collaboration, flexibility, and practical wastewater solutions.

Maintaining proper pH levels is a constant challenge in wastewater treatment.

One commonly used chemical is Caustic Soda, also known as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). It is a strong alkali with a high pH, making it effective for raising pH levels in water.

In wastewater treatment, Caustic Soda is often used to help neutralize acidic conditions and support processes such as heavy metal removal.

Operators Unlimited supplies Caustic Soda solutions and supports facilities in selecting the right approach based on their system requirements.
