Acid Neutralization System

•When plumbing drainage systems contain the discharge of corrosive, toxic and flammable wastes, special attention should be placed in treating the waste. Untreated waste can physically damage a building’s plumbing system as well as the environment. Hospitals, laboratories and industrial plants with this type of wastewater are common applications that require the treatment.

The ParkUSA LabTank® Neutralization Tank is designed so that acidic waste is collected and passed through the tank prior to discharging into the sanitary sewer system. The waste is chemically neutralized within the unit. It is important to note that the tank is an acid neutralizer. For optimal tank performance it is not recommended that acidic waste be further diluted prior to neutralization. Therefore, all acidic effluent should be gathered separately from other non-acidic waste and non-acidic waste should bypass the neutralization tank.

Wastewater neutralization operation occurs through a chemical process where acids and alkalis are neutralized, rendering them harmless. The degree of neutralization can be measured by the pH system (concentration of hydrogen ion). Acid pH values range from 0 to 6.99, a neutral solution is 7, and alkalis range from 7.01 to 14. The smaller the pH value, the higher the content of acidic waste. The larger the pH value, the higher the content of alkaline waste. The neutralization process occurs by the chemical reaction of calcium and magnesium carbonate with the acidic waste. The pH value is increased to 6.0 - 8.0. This range of pH in the neutralized effluent is generally acceptable for discharge into public sewer systems.
