WASTEWATER TREATMENT AT THE HEART OF WORLD COMMERCE Pollution control has been made a priority for advancing countries and Cromaglass most recently supplied batch treat systems for an electric power plant in the Philippines, a shipyard in the Singapore area, and industrial-office parks in Mexico. Mexico's business community surrounding Monterrey has been extremely sensitive to pollution control. This is very visible in their design and use of cost-effective wastewater treatment systems. The Cromaglass distributor, Aquaser S.A. de C.V., has been very active in this growing market.
Aquaser is a complete service-oriented Mexican company specializing in design and start up engineering for water and wastewater customers. Jose F. Garcia and his son, Gerardo, are highly respected for their engineering talents and commitment to the best possible operation and maintenance of each and every treatment system sold.
This large developer of industrial office parks has used Aquaser and its Cromaglass product for very definitive reasons. They liked the long lasting non-corrosive properties of fiberglass tanks and the modular concept which allows addition of modules as the park expands.
InterAmerican also liked the low cost of operation as compared with competitive equipment. Lastly, tied to low operating costs is the fact that addition of bacteria and chemicals is not needed with Cromaglass batch reactor systems. Gerardo Garcia has commented that on industrial park applications, they reviewed past experience on these types of projects. It was necessary to research known standards and estimate effluent flow per site, as well as to consider developer's master plan. Also to be determined was water quality coming into the park, the ground acceptance and rain slopes of the project (since in a multi-acre development storm water run-off might flood the system) and the number of industrial sites being planned. Developing the project took Aquaser thirteen months of meetings with electricians, civil engineers, gas engineers, telephone line installers, Pemex (fuel) people, National Water Commission personnel, architects, and industrial park owners. They found new alternatives and problems for the installation and operation of the units in every meeting. Even though Aquaser now knows the market, owners of most of the parks in the country, and how to service them, every single project has proven to be unique in its needs and specifications.
WHY MODULAR IS SMARTER
When land and space are at a premium, Cromaglass modular designs enable engineers to utilize available property most efficiently. Noiseless, enclosed tank structures with no offensive odors can be located as close to buildings as desired - thereby reducing the need for expensive long collector lines and pump stations. Treatment units can be located throughout the project and be installed as the project expands - cash flow is greatly improved. Contracting costs are decreased as the same small equipment used for excavating accomplishes tank placement. Sludge handling and disinfection components can be located and sized to provide optimum treatment efficiency, reducing costs further. Home|Products|Process|Espanol|Newsletter|Project
