Wastewater Selenium Removal

ABMet* for selenium removal from water & wastewater

ABMet is a revolutionary biological process that removes metals and inorganics from wastewater to below non-detect levels. The ABMet process uses naturally occurring, non-pathogenic microbes to reduce and precipitate target compounds. The result is a highly efficient biological system that can remove 99%+† of selenium, nitrate, and other inorganics from wastewater. ABMet systems can reach the low effluent contaminant concentrations that are required by current or future regulations—levels that cannot be reliably achieved by physical/chemical processes. 

ABMet is significantly less complex than conventional physical/chemical systems and offers a high degree of process control, producing a host of advantages that reduce capital and operating costs including:

• Proven solution to consistently meet discharge limits in EPA’s proposed ELG for FGD wastewater
• Effective nitrate removal
• Effective mercury and arsenic polishing
• Non-hazardous waste solids easily processed by the Phys-Chem solids handling system
• Direct discharge without pre or post treatment
• Proven performance at TDS concentrations greater than 35,000 mg/
