Wastewater Spills Require Emergency Response
HazChem is open and prepared to respond quickly, 24/7/365, even on holidays, for any emergency situation. In this instance, HazChem received a call reporting that approximately 4,500 gallons of wastewater had spilled in a water reclamation room. The crew arrived and donned level “D” Tyvek suits, latex boot covers, chem master and nitrile inner gloves to work with the water. They tested the pH of the water and it was at 4. A pH test reading of 4 indicates a solution is strongly acidic; on the pH scale, anything below 7 is considered acidic, and a value of 4 is significantly acidic compared to a value closer to 7 which would be more neutral.
HazChem Emergency Responders staged one 2” pump and one 2” submersible trash pump with the correct hoses and started pumping into three 330-gallon poly totes.
One of the crew members at the location told HazChem’s crew that they were allowed to pump into one of their tanks.
While they pumped the product waste, they used two shop-vacs to collect their standing liquid waste outside of the room.
The HazChem team collectively pushed and guided the water to the vacuum hose to be pumped into the totes outside of the affected area.
Once all the wastewater was pumped out of the room, the totes were then pumped into the company’s tank on-site. Final photos were taken, and the remediation was approved.
