EPA oily effluent discharge regulations
tightened
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established limitation guidelines for discharges of "oily wastes" from facilities that produce, maintain or rebuild metal products and machinery
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established limitation guidelines for discharges of "oily wastes" from facilities that produce, maintain or rebuild metal products and machinery (MPandM) These new EPA regulations will affect such industries as aerospace, aircraft, bus and truck, electronic equipment, hardware, household equipment, instruments, mobile industrial equipment, motor vehicles, office machines, ordnance, precious metals and jewelry, railroad, ships and boats, stationary industrial equipment, and miscellaneous metal products - virtually any company that uses oil and grease in their manufacturing process

Checking the cleaning of metal parts using IR
The Wilks Enterprise InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyser can be used to test the solvent where metal parts to be tested are soaked, to confirm no grease has been found
IR analysers measure fats, oils and greases (FOG)
Wilks Enterprise portable IR Analysers provide an accurate, easy on-site analysis to assist regulators, as well as industry, reduce the build up of fats, oils, and greases (FOG) in sewers
These limits on oil and grease concentration levels are forcing industrial facilities to monitor their effluent more closely prior to discharge which means more frequent measurements to ensure compliance.
With the InfracCal TOG/TPH Analyser, Model HATR-T2, or the Model CVH - depending on the solvent selected for the extraction process - on-site determinations of the total fat, oil, grease concentration level in the wastewater can be easily and accurately determined in 10-15 minutes - including extraction process.
Measurement data obtained with the Model HATR-T2 will correlate to EPA Method 1664 and with the Model CVH to ASTM Method D 7066-04.
With either InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyser, operators of pre-treatment systems can quickly and easily assess their system efficiency and see how it functions under heavy loads.
They can also avoid discharging effluent that is above the regulatory limit.
