Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater Treatment

Gee systems are widely used within the water industry for the treatment of both potable and waste water.  Within the latter market the typical applications will be for phosphate removal, septicity control, chemical aided settlement and sludge dewatering. The chemicals used within this marketplace are usually iron and aluminium based products although the former is usually the preferred route. For the dewatering/thickening applications both powdered and liquid emulsion polymers can be utilised.
