The EPSE™ Method provides a unique and patented solution for the treatment of materials containing soluble heavy metals. Method produces a metal-free overflow and practically insoluble multi-metal precipitate, which can be recycled further. The EPSE™ Method suits particularly well for acidic industrial and mining wastewater and process water containing soluble metals and it has been successfully tested for 50 metals, presented below.
EPSE offers their clients a comprehensive technical solution and our treatment process creates excellent results. EPSE™ Method can be used for both continuous (24h) or batch run according to the customer’s wishes and it can be integrated into existing equipment.
Does your wastewater contain metals marked in green?
Operating principle
EPSE water treatment process is based on the dosing of the EPSE™ chemical and the adjustment of the pH level. The process forms a metal free overflow and an insoluble precipitate that can be classified as inert waste, which does not require special storage or special permits like hazardous waste does. The Method’s operating expenses and its’ implementation does not typically require large investments. Because the EPSE™ Method isn’t dependent on temperatures, also energy is conserved remarkably.
The EPSE™ Method is non-selective and is proven to be effective to all of the processed metals even in small concentrations. The precipitate formed in the process settles rapidly and it can be used as raw material in many ways.
