Waste water treatment for a cosmetics producer in Québec

In the beggining of 2016, NISKAE was contacted by a company in Québec, that produces hygene products and cosmetics : their problem is to treat waste water coming from the rinsing process of their shampoo and soap production tanks.

They tried several methods and chemicals, but never managed to reach the city standards for rejection to sewer, because their levels of COD, greases and oils was too high.

After a few series of tests, NISKAE managed to define a specific chemical formulation, adapted to the client’s needs, that allows the client to treat waste water both from their shampooo and soap production tanks together, thanks to a unique coagulant- flocculent chemical product. The treated water now meets the city standards for rejection to sewer.

Thanks to the success of the laboratory tests, our client wants to follow-up with the collaboration and start off by renting a pilot unit for 4 to 6 weeks. This unit is composed of a SW200 treatment station and a MOBAG 320 filtering cart. The rental is an option we offer to all of our clients, as it allows them to have a first experience with the treatment system, and validate the solution in the facility.
