What is continuous neutralization?

Continuous neutralization keeps the pH of industrial or laboratory effluents at a constant level, ensuring compliance with environmental standards before discharge or further treatment. Unlike batch neutralization, a continuous system uses sensors and automatic controllers to adjust the pH in real time, maintaining consistent efficiency even when effluent composition changes.

This process suits acidic or basic wastewater from CIP processes, washings, or other production operations. By optimizing the dosing of neutralizing agents and minimizing pH fluctuations, continuous neutralization enhances facility safety, protects the environment, and improves overall effluent treatment performance.

The efficient & automated solution for effluent neutralization

ACTINI Continuous Neutralization Systems (CNS) specifically adjust the pH of effluents from continuous decontaminators, such as the ULTIMATE, ULTIMATE PLUS, and FDS models. They also handle other wastewater from processes like CIP discharges, washing, or any acidic or basic effluent. This versatility enables more comprehensive effluent management.

These standardized and optimized units deliver high neutralization capacity while remaining compact, allowing easy integration into limited spaces.

Product highlights

Fonctions

Main functions: • Caustic and acid injection • Buffer tank" function • Dilute, mix and adjust pH to correct value

Composition

• Polyethylene neutralization tank • Polyethylene control tank • Pumping skid with high-flow centrifugal pump • Control cabinet

Operation

  • Fully automatic operation
  • The system automatically injects acid and caustic soda to neutralize the effluent pH.

  • The neutralization tank acts as a “buffer tank,” smoothing pH variations caused by acidic or caustic effluents entering the system.

  • The tank volume provides a sufficient contact time of 30 minutes for the neutralization reaction, preventing any residual reaction after pH control.

  • A pH probe in the recirculation loop automatically manages pH adjustment, controlling the acid and caustic injection pumps.

  • The mixing pump ensures thorough agitation of the tank. Its hourly flow rate, more than five times the tank volume, allows optimal dilution and mixing of the injected concentrated chemical solutions.

  • The control tank collects a sample from the neutralization tank to validate the pH value before discharge.

  • If the pH falls within the correct range, the system discharges the effluents. If not, it returns the effluent volume to the neutralization tank for a second treatment.

Available Options

The systems can be equipped with two-phase neutralization, allowing treatment of effluents with an inlet pH from 0 to 14 and achieving a precise outlet pH between 6.5 and 8. For effluents with temperatures above 60 °C, a plate heat exchanger can be integrated.

This ensures safe and effective treatment. An inlet allows direct connection to the client’s wastewater, facilitating integration into existing facilities.

The equipment includes a dedicated electrical cabinet with a human-machine interface (HMI) for simplified control. It also features separate tanks for the chemical solutions used in the process.
