Description and Use

Industrial, municipal and manufacturing facilities
can contain toxic heavy metals in their wastewater
impacting downstream processes, re-use of water,
the environment and the local community’s well­being. These facilities face the challenge of meeting
and maintaining compliance by State and Federal
regulatory agencies while doing so economically.

GE Water & Process Technologies provides a com­prehensive metals removal solution utilizing
MetClear products, and when required, unique
product offerings from the GE KlarAid*, Novus* or
PolyFloc*/BetzDearborn* clarification product lines.
This comprehensive approach to treatment assists
industrial and municipal facilities meet increasingly
stringent effluent requirements.

Products and Services Offered

MetClear products include a family of various prod­uct chemistries to improve the removal of heavy
metals to lower residual levels that traditional hy­droxide precipitation may not be able to consist­ently achieve. These products, coupled with the
aforementioned GE options, provide excellent re­sults when treatment solutions are designed by
trained GE representatives. Your local GE repre­sentative, backed by engineering specialists, works
to develop a cost effective program to meet target
treatment goals through on site testing and field
trials.

Application and Treatment

Proper application and treatment programs depend
on many factors including the understanding, moni­toring and documenting of operational conditions
and the impact of wastewater variability on per­formance. Your GE team will bring firsthand
knowledge of your system and how best to apply
our products. Your GE representative is well versed
in how to approach these treatments and can offer
significant value to treatment programs provided.

MetClear products are available in several container
and delivery options. Product Fact Sheets and Ma­terial Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) containing infor­mation about individual MetClear products are
