Toxic Water Cleanup

Stockcode:

For over 50 years Oberlin Filter has aided in the removal of harmful toxins from contaminated waters. We have an extensive and successful record of wastewater treatment and reclamation in a number of applications. We have supplied equipment to many local and federal large-scale projects where extreme filtration was required for highly contaminated water. These hazardous applications involve removing heavy metals, toxic chemicals and radioactive particles from contaminated water. Our ability to handle this type of extreme filtration has been demonstrated in our work with chemical weapons destruction programs. The Blue Grass Army Depot is one such program.

Groundwater Chemical Contamination Cleanup

The Oberlin Filter technology has proved to be a crucial instrument in cleaning toxic water that gravely affects human health. Here’s example where the Oberlin Filter was an integral part in cleaning up a community’s water supply that was contaminated by industrial waste. A large industrial company used a chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid – abbreviated as PFOA or C8 in it’s manufacturing process. The PFOA contaminated the nearby area's drinking water. The Oberlin Filter technology paired with a carbon bed filter successfully cleaned up the water supply and made it economical to do so.

Chemical Weapons Destruction Program : Bluegrass Army Depot

The Blue Grass Army Depot has been storing chemical weapons since 1944 in Richmond Kentucky. The facility has been home to over 500 tons of chemical weaponry ranging from mustard gas to VX nerve agent. In the process of destroying these weapons, toxic wastewater is produced. Oberlin Filter removed a mixture of chemicals from this wastewater including nitrates, organic salts and aluminum hydroxide preventing irreparable harm to the environment.
