Re: Q: Polishing and Regulations
Npierich,
About the regulations, the best thing is to ask your chemical supplier about the disposable requirement for their products. Then follow up with a call to your local waste transfer station. They can provide info about local restrictions.
Most of the chemical I am using only need to be PH balanced before being dumped in the city sewer system. I my area, WI, it is prohibitive to dump chemical waste into either the storm sewer or into a septic tank.
With the chemicals that need more treatment then PH balancing, I evaporate the waste water. My evaporators are simply 55 gallon drums cut in half and placed under the back porch. I have add lattice walls and a locking gate to prevent animals and kids from getting under the porch.
I turn the sludge over to the hazmat guy a the transfer station. If you grow larger give you local SBA a call. In order to promote small business growth as well as good envirermental paraticies, my SBA offered to connect me with other larger companies the have hazardous waste to dispose so we can work together.
