Restrictions such as PH levels have been imposed on waste discharged. into municipal sewers. ‘The use of $. M. S, Neutralizing ‘Tanks allow facilities to legitimately discharge their waste into municipal sewer systems, In addition to con- forming to local by-laws, facilities in which acid neutralizing tanks are installed reduce corrosive aitack on their drainage system $.M, S. SYSTEM NEUTRALIZES HARMFUL ACID WASTE Effective operation of an S. M.S. ‘Neutralizing System is based on two important conditions; Use of a proper neutralizing agent. A minimum of ‘one hour contact time between the waste and neutralizing agent. ‘SM. S. Acid Neutralizers operate by gravity flow of acid waste through a limestone neutralizing medium. To function properly the limestone used must have a calcium carbonate equi valent content in excess of 90 percent. ‘Chemical reaction between acids and limestone, resulting in neutralization is a slow process, not instantancous (rigure 1. S. M. 5. recommends neutralizing tanks be sized to allow a minimum contact time of one hour. ‘Chemical reaction between lims- stone and acids produces by-products ‘of neutralized waste, carbon dioxide ‘and neutral salts that can be safely discharged into municipal sewers. VARIETY OF SYSTEMS TO SUIT VARIOUS APPLICATIONS: ‘Neutralizing Tanks detailed in this literature are typically installed in acid waste drainage systems for medical and research laboratories, industrial ‘battery charging stations, and proces- sing equipment, There are many other facilites and types of installations requiring neutralized waste. S. M. S. has a variety of systems available to suit these various applications. CANADIAN MADE QUALITY AND INTEGRITY + S.M.S, Acid Neutralizing Tanks are ‘made in Canada with emphasis on quality workmanship and materials. +» Sumps: Rotationally molded from, extra high stress, crack resistant, vir~ gin linear, low density polyetiylene, * Tops and Inspection Ports: Minimum 1/2 inch thick extruded high density, stress relieved, fabrica- tion grade polyethylene sheet stock, + Fittings: Minimum, series 60 high density polyethylene pipe + Fastening Hardware: Stainless Steel. + Gaskets: Neoprene or EPDM as required to suit application. * Welding: Is fusion or inkert gas (nitrogen) to provide superior strength FIGURE 4 ES ROUTINE INSPECTION ‘OF THE LIMESTONE LEVEL IS REQUIRED Acid waste chemically attacks the limestone reducing its volume and, therefore, the neutralizing capacity of the system. Various factors such a8 flow rate, concentration of acid waste, and temperature, determine the ‘consumption rate of the limestone. ‘To ensure maximum performance froma tank, @ full charge of limestone should be maintained. Initially, inspec: tion of the limestone level should be made once a month, When the rate of consumption is determined this fre ‘quency may be adjusted to suit indivi- dual installations. To replenish the charge of the tank limestone must be added up to the invert of the outlet connection. SELECTING TANKS WITH ADEQUATE CAPACITY ISIMPORTANT Proper function of the neutralizing system requires determining gallons per hour of acid waste, 1f this infor- ‘mation is not available, S. M.S. recommendsa rate of one gallon per hour per fixture unit. This does not apply to photo processing sinks, as they havea high flow rate and must be handled separately. Select a tank with, an actual liquid capacity equal to, or greater than, the gallons per hour of acid waste entering the tank. (Actual liquid capacity isthe liquid capacity of the tank when filled with limestone.) Retention time is the most important factor (see figure 1). The initial rate of neutralization is rapid, however, as the PH of the acid waste rises, the rate of neutralization slows down; requiring a minimum of one hour retention time. When the neutralizing tank is capable of allowing sufficient retention time, acid waste should reach a safe PH level; ora level high enough to be easily diluted with sanitary waste. UNDERSTAND THE PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS OF NEUTRALIZING SYSTEMS Undersized tanks will result in harmiul waste entering a facility's sanitary system or municipal sewers. While oversized tanks would insure proper neutralization and allow for expansion, With variables such as content, flow rate and concentration of acid waste, no guarantee, writien or otherwise implied; can be made on the performance of 8, M.S, Neutrali- zing Systems. S, M.S. systems are designed to neutralize the PH of acid waste. No provisions are made for eliminating ‘ther harmful substances such as toxins and chromates, or reducing flammability, radioactivity, ete. of prohibited wastes,SMS SEDIMENT INTERCEPTORS DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE DEBRIS & FOREIGN MATTER Due to the nature of wastes encoun- tected in various drainage systems, there isa crucial need to intentionally intercept debris and foreign matter. ‘Where municipalities have codes restricting the discharge of foreign matter with sanitary waste the instal- lation of SMS interceptors will aid ‘with compliance. Interceptars contri- bute to reducing potentially dangerous blockages and subsequent back-ups ‘Typical installations requiring sedi- ment interceptors would be: art rooms, plastering sinks, geological science and biology labs. QUALITY FABRICATION, INNOVATIVE DESIGN & SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE The same quality materials and workmanship found in our neutraliz. ing tanks are utilized in the fabrica- tion of all SMS sediment interceptors. Innovative design features such as a positive discharge into the inner Jhaskee, solids retention chamber and. basket locating guides provide optitum performance. This combination of superior design and construction materials provide for casy maintenance and long-term reliability and service INTERCEPTORS IN CONJUNCTION WITH NEUTRALIZING TANKS If there is no provision elsewhere on. lab waste system, the use of a large sediment interceptor prior to a neu- tralizing tank is imperative. ‘The interceptor will provide pro- tection against eacessive debris and foreign matter lodging in the inlet dip tube and limestone. ‘The potential blockage of a neu- tralizing tank and related back-up of Tab waste would result in a hazardous situation for building and eccupants Another repercussion would be a com- plete shutdown of the lab to enable cleaning of the neutralizing tank BeMOVAL HANDLES soups.
