How a Weir Tank Works: The Key to Effective Water Treatment

Weir tanks are specialty frac tanks designed to separate suspended solids from liquids before filtration or discharge. These tanks play a critical role in construction, chemical manufacturing, and other industrial processes, ensuring effective water treatment and sediment control. Without proper separation, suspended solids can clog equipment, violate discharge requirements, and lead to costly downtime. Weir […]

Mine Dewatering: A Guide to Effective Stormwater and Groundwater Management

Mining operations depend on stable, dry conditions to remain productive and safe. However, excess groundwater and surface water can create serious challenges, from flooded work areas and corroded equipment to delayed operations and regulatory concerns. Mine dewatering is the process of removing this excess groundwater and surface water from mining sites to prevent these issues. […]

How to Choose the Right Dewatering Media: The Bucket Test Explained

Testing for the right media for a dewatering box starts with a bucket test. This test helps determine if a specific dewatering filter media can effectively separate solids from your sample liquid, ensuring that dewatering is effective for a given job site. Whether you’re managing wastewater, sludge, or sediment, selecting the right media is key […]

The Importance of Safety & Compliance in the Waste Management Industry

Safety and compliance are non-negotiable in the waste management and specialty containment industry. By prioritizing environmental health and safety practices, companies can protect human health, prevent environmental damage, and meet strict regulatory standards. Effective waste containment directly supports safety by preventing leaks, spills, fires, explosive reactions and contamination. Partnering with an experienced team ensures you […]

How Our Tanks Play a Role in Airplane Deicing in the Winter Season

Aircraft deicing is the process of removing ice and frost from the wings and other surfaces of an aircraft to ensure safe flight operations. It typically involves spraying a heated, glycol-based fluid to prevent ice formation, which can dangerously affect an airplane’s aerodynamics and performance. Ice buildup on wings can disrupt airflow and compromise safety, […]

Managing Ballast Water Treatment Efficiently

Efficiently managing ballast water when ships come into port is critical to preventing environmental contamination and complying with industry regulations. Without proper storage and treatment, ballast water can introduce invasive aquatic species and pollutants into the ecosystem. Frac tanks provide an effective solution here, offering secure, portable storage and treatment for ballast water at shipyards […]

Guidelines for Safe Hazardous Waste Transportation

Hazardous waste transportation requires strict compliance with regulations in order to ensure safety and prevent environmental harm on-site or during transport. It’s also critical to have the right equipment that safely contains hazardous materials without risking accidental leaks or contamination. Partnering with a knowledgeable and skilled company that deals with non-haz and hazardous waste management […]
