The company operates out of a sixty million dollar, highly automated facility with newly installed, state-of-the-art cleaning equipment.<\/p>\n<p>IMC Vice President, Steve Leonetti hired Hubbard-Hall to improve the organization\u2019s cleaning chemistry and process performance. He wanted to replace labor-intensive processes with a LEAN one that was compatible with their new equipment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, IMC was looking for ongoing access to a technical team that could become a trusted partner to the company&#8217;s internal people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hubbard Hall\u2019s technical experts worked alongside IMC\u2019s team to audit the pre-treat area. They discovered that inconsistent chemistry and consequences from their current wastewater additives were creating an iron-laden copper filter cake.<\/p>\n<p>Working together, Hubbard-Hall and IMC developed a more efficient cleaning and wastewater treatment process. This included Hubbard-Hall\u2019s Acid Brite 150, Lusterclean 24, and AquaPure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hubbard-Hall&#8217;s chemicals are safer for our employees to handle, better for the environment, and allow for more control in the overall process,&#8221; Steve Leonetti, VP IMC.<\/p>\n<p>Once the new chemistry and process were put in place, Hubbard Hall\u2019s experts conducted training for upper management and operators on how to run the process, providing visual jar testing demos and reporting templates to augment their training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Outcome<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hubbard-Hall\u2019s recommended process improvements enabled IMC to reduce its three-step cleaning process to a single step. The new, more efficient, and environmentally-friendly chemistry allowed IMC to maintain their industry-standard filming properties on phosphorous copper and deliver superior anode cleanliness more quickly. The filter cake also saw an improvement to its copper content resulting in an increased recycling value.<\/p>\n<p>Hubbard Hall continues to provide routine technical support and visits to ensure that the new processes continue to perform at peak levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27806,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Improved Copper Cleaning and Wastewater Treatment<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hubbardhall.com\/proof\/success-stories\/better-safer-and-faster-improving-copper-cleaning-and-wastewater-treatment\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Improved Copper Cleaning and Wastewater Treatment\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cHubbard-Hall values their customers enough to workday in and day out to earn their complete trust.\u201d Steve Leonetti, IMC Vice President The Challenge IMC is a global leader in the manufacturing of anodes.
