pH Controls Systems

Prevent EPA Fines for Discharge of High pH Process Water or Storm Water

• Eliminate the cost of storing or disposal of excess process water
• Treated water meets pH and total suspended solids limits for discharge
• Fortrans systems are safer and less costly to operate than acid based systems
• Use pH adjusted process water for recycling, rinsing trucks, dust control or irrigation
• Simple low maintenance design
• Reduce potable water usage
• Low cost solution

All standard Fortrans pH Control Systems include:

• The Fortrans exclusive non-fouling carbon dioxide diffusion and injection system (patent pending) adjusts the pH of process water and/or storm water automatically, on an as-needed basis. This carbon dioxide pH adjustment system is driven by a programmable logic controller that automatically maintains a preset pH (usually pH 7.5), for water stored in your detention basin. Target pH range is adjustable. Includes pH measurement cell, and fully automated operation. The Fortrans is highly reliable, and exceptionally economical to operate.

• High efficiency stainless steel submersible pump with stainless steel impeller, thermally protected continuous-duty motor, and float assembly to protect against run-dry condition. The standard system pump yields approximately 70,000 gallons per day from a typical 12 to 15 foot deep detention basin, and has capacity to pump from basins or pits 20 feet and more in depth.

• High quality swivel pump boom, 150 lb capacity, 2 feet high, with 30″ boom reach and 1000 lb manual winch.

• 2-inch pump connection and 2-inch discharge hoses (25 feet each) with cam lock quick connect fittings for quick and easy set-up.

• Electronic flow rate meter to indicate that the system is operating within a normal flow range, or to indicate that maintenance cleaning of the pump inlet, or the system hoses, is required.

• Factory installed industrial-duty surge suppressor to protect the system electronics.

• Red light fixture to warn that the system pH has exceeded the alarm set-point..

• A system enclosure that is best suited to your facilities needs.

• Feature an exclusive non-fouling carbon dioxide diffusion and injection system to precisely adjust the pH of process water in detention basins.

Fortrans pH Systems Benefit Detail

1. Optimize process and storm water treatment to comply with federal and local regulations. Eliminate costs of storing or disposal of excess process water.
2. Operational Cost Savings Fortrans pH control systems are exceptionally efficient, with 60% to 70% typical operational expense savings over acid-based pH adjustment systems. The Fortrans system reduces total suspended solids to EPA standards of less than 30 mg/l without additional chemicals or filters.
3. Maintenance Cost Savings An elegant design allows Fortrans pH control systems to operate automatically, 24 hours a day. Routine maintenance is simple and easy.
4. Safety. Fortrans pH control systems use carbon dioxide in lieu of hazardous acids. Employees will not need protective equipment or safety training for handling hazardous acids used in other pH control methods.
5. Proven Reliability Fortrans pH control systems, with our exclusive non-fouling C02 injection and diffusion technology provides a proven pH control solution, with hundreds of installations currently operating throughout the United States.
6. Performance. Fortrans guarantees their systems will perform to their customers, satisfaction, and we back this with a 30-day purchase price refund offer. (Less Shipping)
