Boilers generate blowdown water in order to keep the boiler clean. This water has boiler chemicals, minerals and small amounts of rust. The EPA is regulating this water – it can not go on the ground or in the sewer without treatment.
The Solution
The solution was to install a RunDry Evaporator that will reduce a gallon of this water into a teaspoon of nonhazardous sludge!
The Results
This lumber customer’s careful and professional forestry efforts keep the mountainsides green and with the help of RunDry Evaporators, they keep their production practices green as well!
