Tannery Wastewater
Clarification for Leather Tanning Effluent
Plate settlers clarify tannery wastewater, removing suspended solids, chromium precipitates, and organic load from leather processing.
Tannery Wastewater
Tannery wastewater is highly complex, carrying suspended solids, chromium, sulfides, salts, and high organic load from the various stages of leather processing.
Plate settlers with pH adjustment and precipitation clarify tannery effluent, capturing suspended solids and chromium hydroxide precipitates. This supports chromium recovery and compliance with discharge limits.
Robust stainless-steel construction resists the aggressive, saline, and variable nature of tannery streams.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
Chromium Removal
Captures precipitated chromium hydroxide for recovery.
High Salinity
Stainless steel resists saline, aggressive effluent.
Organic Load
Reduces solids and organic load before biological treatment.
