Wasterwater Management

Wastewater management is an essential and potentially costly burden in many manufacturing industries. Process water becomes contaminated through drag-out, cleaning, and other process carry-over, generating wastewater and lost raw materials. In addition, compliance regulations often require on-site wastewater pretreatment or off-site treatment and disposal to meet stringent regulatory discharge standards.

Sigma has experience working with numerous industries on successfully managing process water and wastewater, resulting in significant cost savings. Our approach is not limited to end-of-the pipe solutions, but rather looking at the big picture from the generating process sources, conveyance, through treatment as opportunities are sought to reduce, reuse or eliminate wastewater. Sigma is familiar with all types of wastewater issues and characteristics.
