Overview

Overview

Our containerized groundwater treatment systems handle everything from pump-and-treat VOC removal to complex metals precipitation and filtration. Each system is designed as a complete treatment train housed in a shipping container, ready to produce permit-compliant effluent on arrival.

System Features

Modular Treatment Trains

Combine equalization, chemical feed, precipitation, clarification, filtration, carbon adsorption, and ion exchange in custom configurations.

Metals Treatment

Chemical precipitation with pH adjustment, flocculation, clarification, and multi-media filtration for arsenic, chromium, lead, and other regulated metals.

VOC Removal

Air strippers, packed tower aerators, and liquid-phase GAC systems for benzene, PCE, TCE, and other volatile contaminants.

PFAS Treatment

Specialized treatment with granular activated carbon (GAC) and/or ion exchange (IX) resins designed for PFAS removal to sub-ppt levels.

Chemical Feed Systems

Integrated chemical metering pumps, storage tanks, and mixing systems for pH adjustment, coagulants, flocculants, and oxidants.

Discharge Compliance

Systems designed to meet your specific discharge permit limits with integrated monitoring, sampling ports, and flow measurement.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one container handle the entire treatment train?

For lower flow rates (under ~50 GPM), yes. Higher flow or multi-stage treatment may use 2-3 containers configured as a modular system.

Do you design for PFAS removal?

Yes. We design containerized PFAS treatment systems using GAC and/or IX resins, with lead-lag configurations for continuous operation.

Can the system handle variable influent quality?

Yes. Equalization tanks and automated chemical feed systems accommodate fluctuations in flow rate and contaminant concentrations.

Is operator training included?

Yes. We provide comprehensive operator training during system startup, along with detailed O&M manuals and as-built drawings.
