Alar 1750, a proven metals precipitant, has officially been added to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s (PA DEP) Water Management System Approved Chemical Additive list, making it easier for facilities across the state to treat metals in industrial wastewater while meeting environmental regulations with confidence.
A Win for Compliance and Performance
Managing metals in wastewater is a critical challenge for many industries, from manufacturing and metal finishing to electronics and chemical processing. With strict discharge regulations in place, facilities in Pennsylvania must not only treat their water effectively but also ensure that the chemicals they use are approved by the PA DEP.
What Is the PA DEP Chemical Additive List?
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection maintains a list of chemical additives that have been reviewed and approved for use in wastewater treatment systems across the state. This includes an assessment of:
- Environmental safety
- Aquatic toxicity
