Wastewater Treatment
The ONLY supplier with over 175 years of metal finishing expertise.
We sell chemistry into upstream processes, so we understand how to optimize your downstream effluent. To help you stay compliant with today’s tightening regulations, the AquaPure line of products now brings to metal finishers a true total wastewater treatment system with chemistry and biologics.
Enhancing Metal Finishing Wastewater with Biological Treatment
Bioaugmentation is becoming more common as limits continue to tighten around nitrogen and phosphorus, FOG, and BOD/COD. Biological removal is used as a “final polish” to achieve permit limits and reduce disposal costs. Custom blends of specially selected bacterial strains that work under aerobic and anaerobic conditions with no caustics or acids so as to not cause harm to pipes or wastewater equipment. Discover the potential of bacteria as microscopic superheroes!
See the impact the use of phosphates is having on the discharge from finishing operations.
"Metal finishers have a huge impact on the environments we work in and a responsibility to their community to ensure their effluent meet all requirements."
- Robin Deal, Product Manager, AquaPure
Do you need to change your waste treatment?
Maybe not. We can help you identify process changes that can be made upstream, so you minimize the downstream issues. We’ve done it before. And we help you use LESS chemistry.

5 Steps To Compliance
Step 1: On-site process review
Our tech staff starts upstream to understand your manufacturing processes, chemical usage, and sludge generation.
Step 2: Equipment check
Is your equipment matched to your wastewater needs? Not always. It’s a common issue that causes endless challenges.
Step 3: Jar testing
We sample, benchmark, sample again and conduct thorough treatability studies to identify the optional chemistry dosage.
Step 4: Best process recommendation
You’ll get a customized report, including process recommendations, anticipated costs, and chemical and sludge reduction efficiencies.
Step 5: Implementation and best in class tech support
We will be at your side during implementation and provide staff training, comprehensive documentation and performance tracking.

"We had zero experience using wastewater treatment chemistry. Hubbard-Hall taught us how to use their chemicals, and how to troubleshoot when problems came up. They always picked up my calls and even made onsite visits. Their dedication and quick response has helped us keep our system running almost trouble free."
