Automated Chemical Neutralization Tank / Cart

The chemical or acid neutralization tank from Best Technology automatically adds neutralization solution to facilitate disposal of industrial wastewater. The automated chemical neutralization system takes the guesswork out of determining the correct amount of base or acid to add to industrial wastewater to neutralize it for disposal.

Why Chemical Neutralization?

After passivation, part cleaning or other chemical processes, the passivation acid, the alkaline cleaners, and other chemicals cannot be re-used but also cannot be disposed of until they are neutralized to a suitable pH level.

Requirements vary by chemistry and municipality, but commonly a pH between 6 and 10 is acceptable for disposal into facility drains and sewer assuming there are no hazardous wastes within the used chemistry.

Acid Neutralization Process

Neutralization of a passivation acid such as citric acid or nitric acid typically requires an acid neutralization tank with a base or alkaline solution like soda ash, sodium hydroxide or similar.

Base / Alkaline Neutralization Process

Neutralization of an alkaline solution like one used for part cleaning typically requires neutralization with an acid such as phosphoric and similar acids.

Portable Chemical Solutions Neutralization Wet Processing Cart

The portable chemical neutralization system allows for no-touch neutralization and easier disposal into facility wastewater treatment or municipal sewer systems.

A pump on the neutralization cart transfers used fluid for neutralization to the cart storage tank. A metering pump measures a predetermined amount of neutralization solution from a separate container connected to the cart, and then adds it to the neutralization tank. The solution is constantly circulated and monitored via pH monitor. The metering pump continues adding neutralization solution until the pH is within a preset range.

The cart is on wheels/casters for easy transport to application and disposal locations.

This automated chemical solution neutralization system simplifies disposal of both acids and alkaline solutions.

Applicable Systems which can Utilize a Chemical Neutralization Tank

  • Aqueous cleaning parts washers and precision cleaning systems which use a high pH (base/alkaline) solution typically containing sodium hydroxide
  • Passivation systems which use low pH (acidic) solution to remove free irons part surfaces
  • Electropolishing systems with acidic based electrolytes

To learn more about adding a chemical neutralization tank to your manufacturing workflow, contact an applications engineer at Best Technology today.

Semi-Automated Inline Citric Passivation Solution with Data Tracking

For one medical device manufacturer, the design of a citric passivation solution faced two major challenges: The manufacturing process required performing a water-break test after cleaning parts, before proceeding to passivation. This meant that they could not use a fully automated passivation solution. The system had to have data tracking for quality control purposes. Semi-Automated […]
