The water technology in the Dow BPC Water Treatment System reduces many of the contaminants in oil-contaminated water using a customized bacteria and nutrient package for a specific application, along with a control unit. This allows a wastewater treatment plant to increase reliability by producing less sludge that would go to a landfill.
President and general manager of Dow Oil and Gas Janet Giesselman said: “We are committed to creating clean, sustainable water supplies, and Dow BPC Water Treatment is one more step toward solving this global challenge.”
Dow BPC Water Treatment also helps reduce the amount of energy consumed by companies who incinerate their sludge and in turn, the amount of methane gas produced from the degradation of sludge.
