What is aqueous waste?

For a water-based solution to become a waste it must contain organic or inorganic substances. Even the smallest amounts of external substances can make mixed wastes. For example, a solution containing 94% water and 6% methanol is classified as a mixed waste.

How do I know if I have an aqueous waster?

There are multiple criteria that can cause an aqueous solution to be classified as a waste. Solutions must not be mixed with scintillation fluids and they must contain less than 0.1% chelating agents. The key criteria to consider are toxicity, water solubility, pH and biodegradability.

Aqueous waste

Complete treatment and disposal services

Organic and inorganic substances added to water can create a mixed
waste called aqueous waste. These liquid wastes are treated to reduce, remove or isolate any hazardous substances.

M. Gaze’s waste management facility is equipped to treat a wide range of
bulk aqueous wastes. Some of the state-of-the-art technologies we use at
our dedicated waste management facility to ensure successful treatment
include a dissolve air flotation (DAF) plant, reverse osmosis ultra-filtration
plant, bio-digestor, centrifuges and reed bed systems.

Some of the bulk aqueous wastes we are highly experienced in dealing
with include:

• Interceptor wastes

• Bund and pit waters

• Glycol and water solutions

• Tank washings

• Food process washings

• Brewery wastes

• Detergent solutions

By decontaminating aqueous waste, the by-products can be reused in certain processes. At M. Gaze we treat input steams to an extremely high quality so that they are suitable for reuse in our industrial cleaning applications or for clean-water discharge.
