Case Study
Challenge
Their existing wastewater room was very small, with no additional room for a second DAF (dissolved air flotation.) The company needed to comply with permit levels and was considering a biological treatment technology to achieve that goal.
Solution
Conclusion
The installation of the GEM System was so successful that the facility did not need to invest in a secondary wastewater treatment or biological treatment technology, saving the company hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Additionally, the company enjoyed removal rates below government permit levels, used less chemicals, and saved in sludge hauling costs because the sludge off the GEM System was drier than that produced by a DAF system.


Key Advantages
- No need for expensive biological system
- Removal rates below permit levels
- Less chemistry needed
- Small footprint
- Drier sludge – less hauling costs
