Off-Gas
These solutions employ either oxidation or acidification—along with the option FreshCaustic
of final neutralization—to yield a neutral brine effluent stream acceptable for Chemical Oxidation
disposal to wastewater treating facilities, evaporation ponds or waterways.

MERICON™ III Advantages
Spent Caustic Management
Best for treating sulfidic and naphthenic spent caustics
Removes spent caustic products safely
Acidifies all spent caustics at low pressures and temperatures, releasing and reliably from your facility for
most high COD impurities from caustic; reduces COD by 90-95% beneficial reuse.
Allows recapture of organic compounds (naphthenates and phenolics)
if advantageous About Spent Caustic Management »
Flexible operation managing varying compositions and quantities of
spent caustic in a timely and responsible manner
Proven technology for removal of naphthenates in caustic streams
How It Works
MERICON I, II and III use on-site neutralization and/or oxidation on sulfidic and organic
™
spent caustics to produce a neutral brine effluent stream. Afterwards, the stream can
be routed to wastewater treating facilities, evaporation ponds or waterways. If
technology is not your solution for spent caustic regeneration or neutralization,
Merichem also offers spent caustic management services that allow you to ship your
®
caustic as non-hazardous waste.
