Wastewater Treatment & Sludge Dewatering for the Metals Industry
Steel mills, aluminum plants, foundries and metal fabrication facilities generate wastewater and solids that are tough to manage. Process and cooling water carry suspended solids, oils and metals, while scale pits, clarifiers and ponds fill with mill scale, sludge and fines. When dewatering equipment goes down or solids build up, production and compliance both suffer. ECOR provides on-site wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, dredging and remediation services that help metals facilities keep solids under control, meet discharge requirements and reduce disposal costs.
Our team brings company-owned mobile equipment and 24/7 staffing to every project. We handle both planned cleanouts and emergency responses.
