Du-Lite Waste Water Treatment: Waste Water Treatment Chemicals

All rinse water used in the Du-Lite black oxide process must be treated before discharge to your septic system or local sanitary sewer system. Before disposing of rinse water, you should contact environmental authorities in your area to be certain that no law will be violated by using these disposal procedures. Fortunately, there is an easy way to test rinse water to determine whether it is acidic, alkaline or neutral.

The method used is to measure the pH level. What is meant by pH? pH uses a scale of 1 to 14, 7 represents the pH of distilled water which is neutral. A pH of 6.5 is slightly acidic. The lower the numbers the stronger the acid content of your waste water sample. A water sample with a pH of 8 is slightly alkaline the higher the numbers go to 14 the stronger the alkalinity becomes. Rinse water from a black oxide line has a pH of 14 and must be lowered with Du-Lite’s Waste Water pH Adjustment Compound to a pH of 7. At this pH, all alkalinity has been neutralized and all nitrates and nitrites in the rinse water have been destroyed.

The pH level of the wastewater can easily be determined by using multi-colored pH test strip papers. Dip the colored area of a pH test strip into the wastewater for a few seconds, then remove it and observe the color change in the colored area of the test strip. Match this color on the container and read off the pH value. These strips are a fast, simple and accurate way to test the acid/alkaline nature of any waste rinse water.
