Solutions for Any Industry
Most industrial facilities can benefit from a water reuse system and a treatment system for wastewater generated by manufacturing and maintenance activities. Whether the driving factor is relieving pressure on the local POTW by reducing discharge volume or meeting environmental mandates, ProChem can develop a process that works for any facility to meet their water quality requirements.
- Recovery for high volume users (relieve overstressed POTW)
- Meet or exceed local, state, and federal regulatory limits
- Wastewater recovery and reuse
- Treatment of wastewater generated from manufacturing
- High purity water
Automotive
ProChem understands the water and wastewater challenges that automotive manufacturing facilities face. We have a long, proven track record of meeting these challenges to provide a solution that is both successful and cost effective.
ProChem earned its first operational account in an automotive manufacturing facility. That partnership provided us with an ideal platform to showcase and evolve our operational expertise, systems technology, and chemical treatment programs. It’s where our water reuse technology was first installed and improved upon. Since then, we have worked with many other automotive manufacturing and component manufacturing facilities.
ProChem’s metals removal and purification technologies are ideal for automotive industries. They remove heavy metals (zinc, nickel, etc.), oils and greases, and provide high quality paint process water to protect the product and the equipment.

Power Generation
ProChem understands the challenges that power generation facilities are facing as they attempt to comply with the latest effluent limitation guideline (ELG) changes. We offer a solution for every point of use at both coal fired power plants and combined cycle facilities.
From the influent process water quality to FGD water, including ash pond water reduction, ProChem offers coal fired plants the best available technology to meet the need.
We can reduce the load on evaporators significantly in existing ZLD systems at combined cycle facilities by modifying the process to increase water reuse percentages. This reduces the operating costs significantly too, compared with competitor technologies. We also offer ion-exchange and reuse options.
Our years of targeted contaminant removal experience allow us to provide an effective low capital solution for removing Selenium, Zinc, Boron, Arsenic, Mercury, Nitrate/Nitrite, and more.

Food & Beverage
Water and wastewater treatment is frequently not an area of expertise in the food and beverage industry; however, water is commonly used as an ingredient, a cleaning and sanitizing agent, as well as a conveyor of raw materials through production machinery. If there are issues with either process water or wastewater, it can quickly cause major production problems and lost production time. Moreover, water and wastewater costs make a proper water management strategy a critical aspect of the production process.
