Die Herausforderung

A Southern California aerospace supplier for Boeing faced operational challenges due to a 25-year-old wastewater treatment system. Outdated technology, corrosion, and stricter discharge regulations made it increasingly difficult to meet compliance while maintaining efficiency. The aging system also struggled with ineffective removal of cadmium cyanide, a common aerospace contaminant.

With new regulations and mounting inefficiencies, the manufacturer needed a comprehensive solution.
