Tertiary Treatment
Print this page
Increasing numbers of municipalities and industrial plants are moving beyond primary and secondary (biological) treatment to tertiary treatment to achieve the higher contaminant removal levels required by environmental regulation, industrial processes, and the increasing cost of clean water.

Many of the contaminants of concern are particulate and include nutrients, toxic compounds, metals, organic matter and suspended solids that can not only be deleterious to the environment but can also be esthetically detrimental as measured by color and turbidity.

The CoMag™ Process is particularly effective as a water polishing technology. With its ability to achieve high levels of particulate contaminant removal, small footprint, and low capital and operating costs, CoMag™ competes favorably on all dimensions with conventional tertiary treatment processes such as membranes, DAF and media filtration.

Tertiary Treatment

Recycle - Reuse Water
The demand to produce reusable water from wastewater is also growing – especially in those areas where there is a lack of fresh water. As a tertiary wastewater treatment system, CoMag™ excels in meeting or exceeding the particulate removal standards for water for reuse whether the standards are for irrigation, aquifer re-injection, industrial processes, or even influent to drinking water production plants.
