Mass Design Inc., a leading PCB manufacturer, sought to improve the sustainability and efficiency of its wastewater treatment system. They collaborated with Hubbard-Hall’s Aquapure Technical Team for a comprehensive process audit. The audit revealed that minor foreign materials from routine PCB processes compromised membrane efficiencies. Hubbard-Hall recommended an ‘offense-minded approach,’ empowering operators to adjust chemical dosing rates, which extended the membrane life between cleaning cycles by 300%, reduced cleaning costs, and maintained high discharge quality.
The new protocol led to significant cost savings and improved system performance. Neil Chulada, Mass Design’s Director of Operations, noted the initial skepticism but acknowledged the substantial benefits realized within weeks. The partnership resulted in better flow rates and fewer cleanings, showcasing the combined impact of advanced chemistry and technical support. This collaboration with Hubbard-Hall further solidified Mass Design’s commitment to environmental sustainability and operational efficiency.
