Mobility
Multi-Stage
This proven, unequaled, cutting edge technology has the ability to process a wide range of contaminants -- individually in parallel, as well as the mixed-stream in series. The proprietary computer control system assures complete management of the plant and its real-time process with a minimum of staff interface (a hands-off operation) and a maximum of efficiency in quality of treatment and cost avoidance.
From the incoming (influent) mixture and through the stages of the process, hydrocarbons are recovered for recycling; heavy metals are concentrated into a very small quantity (about 1 - 2 pounds per ton of water treated) for safe and economical disposal; and the only effluent (discharge) is clean water which meets the legal requirements for discharge into the sewer or directly into the environment. With additional stages, this effluent can made potable for human consumption.
The plant consists of the process equipment integrated into and housed within two (2) 8'w X 9.5'h X 40'l standard shipping containers. It is standardized in construction and operation, performs equally well as a mobile system or as a fixed site, and is able to go on-line in a matter of hours after reaching its destination. It is relatively lightweight and, being of standard shipping size, is able to be transported by land, rail, sea, or air nearly anywhere in the world. As a mobile system, it remains on the trailers of the 18-wheel carriers, or is secured onto a barge for marine operations, and receives its contaminated influent directly from the polluted source or from holding tanks or inflatable bladders. As a fixed site, it is removed from its transport vehicle and set onto a prepared foundation, receiving its influent wastewater from a series of holding tanks.
DTIC's Mobile system is a multi-stage, integrated process specifically designed to operate continuously, if necessary, to remove hazardous pollutants of hydrocarbons (oils) and toxic heavy metals (and their salts) from mixed industrial and/or domestic hazardous wastewater.
Stages of the integrated process are assembled as modules to provide standardization in manufacture and repair and for ease of maintenance of the process hardware. Proprietary sensors and computer software provide for real-time control of the entire operation of the plant and its on-going treatment process in a hands-off fashion, allowing for maximum quality of treatment and cost-effectiveness of operation as well as for minimum human interaction.
