JNE Environmental was contacted by a grower in Ontario experiencing major issues with the facility’s wastewater stream pH. The nature of their production lead to low pH discharge water to the City’s sanitary sewer system resulting in several fines. The Company was facing future letters of non-compliance. They reached out to JNE Environmental for help.
Last week, JNE Environmental was invited by one of our customers to present our containerized DAF-based wastewater treatment system to 30 members of the Municipal Enforcement Sewer Use Group (MESUG). This group consists of Municipal Environmental Officers, By-Law Officers, Wastewater Operators, Environmental Technicians, Managers, and Administrators across Ontario.
JNE Environmental is proud to announce that they have become an Associate Member with Food and Beverage Ontario (FBO). By becoming an associated member, JNE Environmental is joining FBO as an industry expert for wastewater and water treatment requirements unique to the food and beverage sector.
Most restaurants and factories have grease traps and interceptors, sump pits, and sludge waste holding tanks. These traps and tanks are emptied and cleaned out on a regular basis by vacuum trucks that offload at a central processing plant. JNE Environmental supplied equipment and chemicals to create a standardized treatment system at a series of these plants.
JNE Environmental was contacted late one evening by a major environmental remediation company due to a processing failure that was resulted in the inability to discharge water. We provided two technical experts for after-hours emergency support within 1 hour to review the situation and develop a treatment strategy to address the unacceptable performance.
Cutting and drilling fluids contain a variety of oils and emulsifiers that make wastewater difficult to treat once the fluid is no longer usable. As a result, fluids are often disposed of as hazardous waste, incurring high operating costs to your company. JNE Environmental has developed a process that allows you to treat this wastewater at your own plant, leading to significant cost savings.
A local stamping and manufacturing plant approached JNE Environmental to supplement their existing wastewater treatment system. The existing system was very maintenance intensive due to the high oil content in the wastewater. To reduce the load on the existing system, we custom-designed an oil removal package by combining multiple oil recovery methods.
A customer that makes a resin used in everything from billiard balls to countertops needed help removing high concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from their air emissions. Using the resources at our Burlington facility, we custom-designed, built, and operated a high-temperature catalytic oxidation Pilot Plant to test its effectiveness in treating hazardous air pollutants.
A company that processes and digests food wastes was not able to remove enough solids from their incoming slurry prior to entering a large centrifuge. This resulted in process instability in their anaerobic digester system. JNE has since tested a new dry polymer product tailored to the separation of high solids wastewater for anaerobic digesters.
JNE installed a pilot plant at a beef abattoir to evaluate the treatment effectiveness and projected operating costs by treating actual wastewater streams generated from the plant. The tremendous performance of the pilot plant confirmed to the client that a DAF based system is the most cost effective solution for their facility.
