Zeolite (as Zelflocc) provides a process for the enhancement of wastewater purification systems which utilises the unusual properties of the natural mineral zeolite to improve the performance and/or capacity of existing treatment systems, or to reduce capital expenditure on new treatment systems.
It offers exciting possibilities for improvements to, and cost savings for, municipal wastewater treatment systems. It should be emphasised however that these advantages are not just limited to municipal systems. It is equally applicable to many industrial situations.
From an environmental point of view zeolite offers a low cost, easy to implement, means of providing enhanced environmental protection. It offers greater system capacity, reduced odour both during treatment and in subsequent sludge reuse, and provides water protection from heavy metals. Further it reduces metal salt additions for phosphorus precipitation, and creates desirable characteristics for sludge reuse.
