Containerized Wastewater Treatment Portable Applications

Industrial and Construction Site Wastewater Management

• On-Site Treatment and Recycling: Containerized wastewater treatment systems from Suzhou Zhongnan Intelligent Equipment Co, Ltd. are ideal for industrial sites (e.g., factories, mines) and construction camps, where wastewater (e.g., chemical-laden, suspended solids) needs to be treated before discharge or recycling. The systems use processes like ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and chemical oxidation to remove contaminants, meeting local discharge standards (e.g., COD <50mg/L, SS <10mg/L). For example, a 40-foot containerized wastewater treatment unit can treat 50m³ of construction wastewater daily, recycling up to 80% for site use (e.g., concrete mixing, dust suppression)—reducing freshwater consumption and disposal costs.
• Temporary Deployment Flexibility: Unlike permanent wastewater treatment plants, containerized wastewater treatment units can be moved as the project progresses (e.g., from one construction phase to another) or relocated to new sites once the project ends. This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple permanent plants, reducing capital investment for customers.

Emergency and Disaster Relief Wastewater Handling

• Rapid Response to Contamination: After natural disasters (e.g., floods, earthquakes), wastewater systems often fail, leading to contamination of water sources. Containerized wastewater treatment systems can be deployed quickly to treat sewage and prevent the spread of waterborne diseases. Suzhou Zhongnan Intelligent Equipment Co, Ltd.’s emergency-focused models are lightweight (20-foot units weigh ≈5,000kg) and can be airlifted by helicopter to inaccessible areas, providing critical wastewater treatment within hours of a disaster.
