Phenol Problem Solved at Wastewater Facility
A case study document featuring a large outdoor water treatment facility at sunset. Below the image, text describes how potassium permanganate is used to solve phenol problems in wastewater. A process flow diagram is shown at the bottom.

Phenol Problem Solved at Wastewater Facility

An industrial user of phenolic resins and organic dyes that processes approximately 40,000 gallons of wastewater per day. The phenol concentrations can be as high as 7,000 mg/L. The phenol levels must be reduced to <50 mg/L prior to discharge.

The facility operates 24 hours per day and seven days per week processing a tremendous amount of phenolic resins. The high resin usage requires the facility to clean phenolic resin containers daily for reuse.

Municipal Drinking Water Treatment for Radium Removal Technical Brief 

Optimize Radium Removal with Permanganate Treatment

Meeting the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Radium 226 & 228 (MCL of 5 pCi/L) and gross alpha emitters (MCL of 15 pCi/L) requires effective treatment strategies. CAIROX® potassium permanganate or CARUSOL® liquid permanganate, combined with manganese sulfate, forms Hydrous Manganese Oxides (HMOs)—high-surface-area compounds that effectively adsorb radium.

Sulfide and Corrosion Control
Case study document for Carusol liquid permanganate by Carus Water, detailing sulfide and corrosion control. Includes graphs, tables, conclusions, and visual elements focused on evaluation and application.

Sulfide and Corrosion Control

Kootenai-Ponderay Sewar District located near Sandpoint, Idaho, was trying to control hydrogen sulfide corrosion and odor at two lift stations and several manholes. The source of the problems was from a pressure sewer line that was being discharged into a gravity line below a manhole. The pressure sewer line consists of discharge from a STEP System (septic tank effluent pump). It was determined that the best point for applying odor control chemical was at the injection station located over a valve box of the pressure line.
