The ParkUSA LabTank® supports responsible waste management in laboratory environments. The neutralization tanks or basins are designed to collect acidic waste and chemically neutralize it before it’s discharged into the sanitary sewer system and to protect laboratory workers and equipment from potential harm caused by acidic wastewater.
Our pH measuring system determines the degree of neutralization by calculating the concentration of hydrogen ions in the wastewater and then treating the wastewater with a neutralizing agent. The neutralized wastewater is then filtered and monitored for compliance with local, state, or federal regulations before it is discharged.
Acidic wastewater flows into the neutralization tank or basin, is neutralized with an agent such as sodium hydroxide or calcium carbonate rock media, then leaves the tank to discharge into sewer system in compliance with local, state, or federal regulations.
The neutralization process occurs through a chemical reaction between the acidic waste and calcium and magnesium carbonate. The degree of neutralization can be measured by the pH system, which determines the concentration of hydrogen ions. When the acidic wastewater comes into contact with neutralization media, a neutralization reaction occurs. The primary component of neutralization media is calcium carbonate, which reacts with the acid to produce calcium ions, water, and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction results in the neutralization of the acid, as the hydrogen ions are consumed by the reaction and the pH of the solution increases towards neutral.
A wastewater pH neutralizing and monitoring system can benefit a wide range of applications where wastewater with varying pH levels is generated.
With over 35 years of experience, we offer proven water management innovation, technology, and service.
