LT Technologies Awarded Turn-key Waste Water Compliance and Recycle System for Flexible Circuit Company.

Vulcan Flex Circuits is a progressive, industry-leading company located in New Hampshire. They are moving their entire operations to a new state of the art facility, also in New Hampshire  LT Technologies has been contracted to design and build a customized solution for their compliance and recycle of process waters.

The system LT Technologies is building for Vulcan is called the Total Compliance & Recycle (TCR) system. This innovative systemization utilizes microfiltration for suspended metal bearing solids removal and conditioning of the water prior to feeding a Reverse Osmosis System.

"There are significant challenges with waste water RO,” says Stephen Benjamin, V.P. of Engineering at LT Technologies. “The science of comprehensive process evaluation and complete characterization of the client’s stream is paramount to the technologies’ success. Microporous membranes are very susceptible to organic foulants. LT Technologies needs to do its homework before embarking on a project of this importance with a client. But with our past experience and successes with similar applications of this technology, we’re confident about the success of this project.”

Steve goes on to describe how a bottleneck like this in the discharge and recycle can be a major concern for this industry sector. “They need these processes to be both highly dependable and effectively.  They don’t have the time to stop the process when they feel like it. So they need a system that is built to a robust design parameter that can put them in place to succeed in a variable waste environment. We’re happy to have the opportunity to work with a company that is not under a mandate to recycle water but takes that initiative nonetheless because they see the short- and long-term value of doing so. It really is a privilege to work with companies like Vulcan that make the environment part of their vision.”
